Though the existence of the Air Tigers had been the subject of speculation for many years, the existence of the wing was only revealed after an attack in March 2007, during Eelam War IV.

For as flaumbe is but lighted smoke,
Right so soun is air ybroke.”

Bright topaz denizens of a world of green.”
