A fin flash is part of the national markings of the military aircraft of a number of countries.
In addition to the insignia displayed on the wings and fuselage, usually in the form of roundels, an additional marking known as a fin flash may also be displayed on the fin or rudder.[1]
A fin flash often takes the form of vertical, horizontal or slanted stripes in the same colours as the main insignia and may be referred to as rudder stripes. Alternatively, a national flag or a roundel may be used.
