Six airmen from Manas Air Base in Kyrgyzstan recently paid a visit to children at a Bishkek hospital as part of the efforts of the Manas Air Base Outreach Society. Donning Santa hats, the airmen sang songs, passed out gifts, hoping to raise the spirits of the kids. Airmen at Manas also have built a new playground for the hospital through donated time and labor.
Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.—a longtime hub for A-10 Thunderbolt II tactical training, operational testing and maintenance—ended nearly a half-century of flying the venerable Warthog on Sept. 22.
