'Today's Air Force' features the service's heritage

  • Published
This week's edition of "Today's Air Force" focuses on the service's heritage with a visit to the National Museum of the USAF  where a Peacekeeper Missile exhibit dedication took place.  During the ceremony, it was announced that Air Force officials were bringing back the old ICBM missile crewmember badge. 

Also featured is the Air Force in action at one of the world's largest coalition air exercise: Maple Flag. This year, the exercise is hosted by Canada and comprises seven other countries and their air fleets.

The final segment shows how our aircrews train Iraqi airmen in a combat environment to airlift supplies and personnel in and out of dangerous regions.
