Air Force Celebrates the Centennial of Flight
"Launched by the Wright brothers’ flight at Kitty Hawk, civilian and military aviation took off on a nearly century-old flight that has been evolving and has yet to reach a final destination. Along the way, advances have been many — going from open cockpits to canopies, gasoline engines to jet propulsion, bi-wings to single wings, cloth and metal construction to composite materials, just to name a few. As we celebrate the advances of the past and look to the future, we’ll forever keep in mind Orville and Wilbur Wright and their historic flight: Dec. 17, 1903."

There are many positive stories from Iraq that are never told, today's is from the Air Force Link.
12/16/2003 - OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM (AFPN) -- A KC-10 Extender crew at a forward-deployed location carried a special message of hope and peace on their flight over Iraq on Dec. 9.
As part of the project “Hands on America,” the crew displayed from their boom window an 86-by-76-inch American Flag hand-crafted by Iowa school students. In doing so, the crew became part of a larger effort to honor the victims of Sept. 11, 2001, and their families, and the continuing war on terror.
The left may see the war on terror as a pathway to power...but millions more see it as OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM...ours.
