An F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot assigned to the 64th Aggressor Squadron wears a red star, the unit's symbol, on the back of his helmet. The unit's star and yellow hammer-and-sickle symbolizes the Soviet Union, the United States' enemy during the Cold War. Today, the 64th AS replicates threats faced by combat air forces rather than a specific adversary.
