Highland Home SchoolSeptember 26 at 7:49 PM ·

People driving to the Gulf coast on U.S. Highway 331 probably never expect to see the F-16 monument on the campus of a local school. The history of the display …goes back to the choice of the team mascot. In 1941, the United States entered World War II. The eleven members of the school football team entered the military and the football program was dropped for the duration of the war. According to one news story, after the war, the people of this Crenshaw County community decided to change the name of the school mascot from Panthers to the Flying Squadron.

They spent decades trying to get a jet fighter to symbolize their school, finally succeeding in 2008. Alumnus CJ Faulk donated the jet, and his company assembled it on campus. It was dedicated on November 23, 2008.

(The F-16 has tail number 78-0061 and served on active duty with the Air Force for many years. When it was displayed, a few changes were made to the paint scheme. For example, one can see the words “Highland Home Flying Squadron” on the tail of the aircraft. The shade of blue reflects the school colors. One has to admit not many school mascot displays will have originally cost several million dollars to build. This particular aircraft was built by General Dynamics and delivered to the Air Force in 1980.)
