"Our total force of active duty, Reserve & Guard is formidable. Together we are one team, focused on the one fight — providing for our nation’s defense & security. It was clear to me the Air Guardsmen of Bangor are focused on this task." — SecAF Kendall af.mil/News/Article-D…

SecAF 26 visited the Palm Springs Air Museum today, and rode in a P-51 Mustang - the fighter that was able escort bomber forces from England and into the furthest reaches of occupied Europe in WWII. Note - SecAF paid for this flight at fair market value.

As we celebrate America’s Birthday today, I want to give a special thank you to the Airmen of the U.S. Air Force and the Guardians of the United States Space Force who defend this nation each and every day. Have a safe 4th of July!
