We recently ran across a program by the National Guard Bureau—not recruiting— that offers free—that’s right, we said free—“heritage prints” that illustrate historic moments from Guard history. There are quite a few Air Guard prints, some as recent as the Air War over Kosovo (see thumbnail art). You can download a high-resolution version from the NGB Web site here or order the prints (there’s a limit) by regular mail (instructions can be found here.)
The Air Force has embraced new technical approaches like open mission systems and rapid software updates for cutting-edge aircraft like the B-21 and Collaborative Combat Aircraft. Increasingly, though, the service is also working to apply these to its older, “legacy” aircraft, officials said this week.
