Holloman celebrates 67th Air Force Birthday
Technical Sgt. Travis Day, 29th Attack Squadron sensor operator, prepares an Air Force MQ-9 Reaper for a training mission from inside of a ground control station on Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. Sep. 18. “The core values, (Integrity first, Service before self, and Excellence in all we do), to me are an extension of every career field and their responsibility in the Air Force. Without their adherence, the solidarity of the Air Force is threatened,” said Day. On September 18, 1947 the U.S. Air Force was officially recognized as an independent military service, leaving behind its former role, the U.S. Army Air Corps. This year marks 67 years of the USAF leading the world in air superiority, space and cyberspace. “The future of our nation is forever bound up in the development of Air Power,” Brigadier General Billy Mitchell, United States Army Air Service.
