This undated photograph shows a young Adrian “Kila” Kinimaka, who flew with the 199th Fighter Squadron. It looks like the photograph was taken at the Hawaii Air National Guard flightline. Kila is wearing a Tactical Air Command or Air Combat Command patch so the date should be in the early 1990s, shortly after he returned from training.

Historical note: Tactical Air Command transitioned into the Air Combat Command effective June 1, 1992.
