 An F-16 Fighting Falcon receives fuel from a KC-10 Extender over Iraq, Dec. 25, 2016. Many pilots wore a traditional red "Santa" hat while flying on Christmas Day. F-16s are providing precision guided close air support during Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, a multinational effort to weaken and destroy Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant operations in the Middle East region and around the world.

| #8 I thought RED meant "retired, extremely dangerous" Of course, wait till the PC crowd gets ahold of this and starts yammering about offending moslems with a celebration of Christmas. I think the comment about working the naughty list is classic and should be placed in the hall of fame. |

| #4 According to the U.S. Air Force, “many pilots wore a traditional red “Santa” hat while flying on Christmas Day,” in support of Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Or could there have been yet another, more subtle reason ? |
