Two Canadian Forces 410 Squadron CF-188B Hornet fighter flying over the Utah Test and Training Range (USA) for planned engagements during the "Tiger Meet of the Americas" on 9 August 2001. The first aircraft is painted in a special scheme commemorating the 60th anniversary of 410 Squadron.
The inaugural "Tiger Meet of the Americas" brought together flying units from throughout North America that have a Tiger or large cat as their unit symbol (in 410 Sqn's case, a Cougar). The Tiger Meet of the Americas closely mirrors the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)/Europe Tiger Meet in its goal of fostering camaraderie, teamwork and tactics familiarization.
