America's first combat aviators memorialized
A missing-man formation of F-16 Fighting Falcons follow French Mirages and a Naval Air Factory N3N biplane (not shown) in a flyover at the Lafayette Escadrille Memorial ceremony outside of Paris May 23. French and American citizens here paid homage to some of the United States' first combat aviators known as the Lafayette Escadrille. The all-American squadron of volunteers flew under the French flag during World War I. The F-16s belong to the 52nd Fighter Wing, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt.
