U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Michael “Miles” Long, 119th Fighter Squadron commander, 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air National Guard, poses for a photograph in front of an F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet with a ‘Jersey Jerk’ tail decal, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, June 6, 2024. The “Jersey Jerk” was the tail flash of Major Donald J. Strait’s P-51D in Europe. Enlisting in the New Jersey National Guard before World War II, Strait went to flight school, becoming one of two fighter aces with National Guard backgrounds with 13.5 victories. Postwar, Strait commanded the New Jersey Air National Guard, retiring in 1978 as a major general. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Airman 1st Class Connor Taggart)
