U.S. Staff Sgt. David Hatch, a propulsion technician in the 103d Maintenance Squadron Propulsion Shop, works on an NP2000 propellor for a C-130 Hercules in East Granby, Connecticut, on Oct.3, 2025. The new eight-bladed propellers enable heavier take-off weights, provide more thrust, and reduce overall propellor maintenance time. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Captain Jen Kaprielian)

U.S. and French service members gather at the Eighth Air Force Memorial Site near La Fière Bridge, France, June 4, 2026, to honor the service and sacrifice of Eighth Air Force Airmen during World War II. The ceremony commemorated the legacy of the Eighth Air Force, which grew into the largest air armada in history and played a critical role in the Allied victory in Europe. Eighty-two years later, the valor and sacrifice of those airmen continue to inspire, and their legacy lives on through today’s enduring Alliance and shared commitment to peace, security and freedom.
