"Leave no Airman behind" It’s more than a motto. It is a sacred, enduring promise that does not expire. After 56 years, U.S. Air Force Capt. Eric “Rick” Huberth’s ID tags were reunited with his surviving sisters during a solemn ceremony, offering a long-awaited physical connection to a hero they never forgot. As an F-4D Phantom II weapon systems officer, Capt. Huberth was declared missing in action May 13, 1970. To the Air Force, he was a dedicated aviator and officer. To his family, he was simply Rick.

Built on standards. Refined through discipline. Drill has long been a part of U.S. Air Force tradition, teaching teamwork, professionalism, and precision that carry far beyond the pad. 🇺🇸 @usairforce 🎥: SSgt Lauren Clevenger

For when you *really* wanna break bad guys’ stuff… From the very first operational B-1B to its continued use in operations around the globe, squadrons like the 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron have been there—guaranteeing the Bone is combat-ready at a moment’s notice 🦴

The BRRRTT that keeps on BRRRTTing #ICYMI, the A-10 was approved for an additional year of service by @secafofficial , keeping the Warthog flying through 2030. In the meantime, teams like the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron keep it combat-credible... Test after test, 30mm round after 30mm round 🎯 📸 2nd Lt. Shane Milligan
