Airmen honored at French ceremony
A formation of F-16 Fighting Falcons and French Mirages (not seen) punctuate a regal and colorful Lafayette Escadrille memorial ceremony outside of Paris May 24. During the ceremony, French and American citizens paid homage to some of the United States' first combat aviators. The all-American squadron of volunteers flew under the French flag during World War I, and many gave their lives in defense of French democracy. The F-16s are from the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Scott Wagers)
