Defying Superstition: The 13th Fighter Squadron's Legacy of Excellence

A photo of “Panther Pack” members awarding their mascot, Eldridge, with a plaque is held in the 13th Fighter Squadron heritage book at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Dec. 2, 2023. Eldridge was a black Asian leopard that was adopted by members of the 13th FS. However, after growing too large for the base, he was eventually rehomed to a U.S. zoo.
