U.S. Air Force

The U.S. Air Force and the National Aeronautic Association are honoring two Air Force crews with the prestigious Mackay Trophy for supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, evacuating 2,000 Americans from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, in August 2021.

The U.S. Air Force was born on Sept. 18, 1947, when the first Secretary of the Air Force, Stuart Symington, was sworn into office following the signing of the National Defense Act. A year-long commemoration wraps up this weekend with a host of events at and around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton.

Military judge Col. Christina Jimenez ordered that the two-star general forfeit over $50,000 of his pay and receive a written reprimand. The verdict marks the first conviction of a general in a court martial in the 75-year history of the Air Force.

“A Force for Good – Department of the Air Force Humanitarian Missions” opens Saturday, April 9, at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, and is a new permanent exhibit in the Global Reach Gallery. Other exhibits are scheduled throughout the year, leading up to the 75th anniversary celebration this fall.
