This is a 9.5" x 8" vintage mouse pad picturing an F-16 jet fighter. It's marked "Powered by Alpha" "digital" "ALPHA WORKSTATIONS" and a phone number--apparently an advertising item for this company. The tail wing on the plane is marked LF 58TTW. The aircraft also has U.S. Air Force markings.
From Wikipedia:
"LF TTW" likely refers to Luke Air Force Base's 58th Tactical Training Wing, which was responsible for training F-16 pilots in the 1980s. The wing included squadrons like the 310th, 311th, 312th, and 314th Fighter Squadrons, all flying the F-16. The "LF" in aircraft designations refers to Luke Air Force Base, where the 58th TTW was stationed.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
58th TTW:
This was the main unit at Luke responsible for training F-16 pilots in the 1980s.
Tactical Training Wing (TTW):
This designation signifies that the wing's primary mission was training tactical fighter pilots.
Luke Air Force Base (LF):
The "LF" in aircraft markings identifies the base where the aircraft is assigned, in this case, Luke AFB, Arizona.
F-16:
The 58th TTW primarily used the F-16 Fighting Falcon for training.
There is a very faint stain just above the smaller F-16--otherwise in excellent condition. See photos as part of description.
