The Air National Guard-led 1st Air Force/Air Forces Northern, headquartered at Tyndall AFB, Fla., working with the Civil Air Patrol, has supplied aerial photography of flooding in various areas of Missouri at the state’s request, said Maj. Gen. Hank Morrow, commander of 1st AF (AFNORTH), in a March 26 release.
