Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley presented an American Air Force Bronze Star medal to RAF Wing Commander Red Thompson. Currently serving as an exchange officer at Hurlburt Field, Fla., Thompson worked with Moseley during the planning and initial execution of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The Air Force expects to start modifying its first B-52H Stratofortress bomber with new engines and other upgrades later this year, following the successful review of the Commercial Engine Replacement Program’s design.
