My father entered the Army Air Corps in the spring of 1945, just as WWII was winding down. He stayed in for several years, and spent a lot of time in and around this plane:

Douglas C-47 Transport

My son just completed his Air Force Basic training, and is now in Tech School to become a sensor operator – here’s the aircraft he will “fly”:

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - Predator

Different generations, different aircraft, but the same determination to serve our country proudly.
