The Air Force has just released the names of the winners of the 2005 SSgt. Henry E. “Red” Erwin Award, which honors the top enlisted aircrew members in the service. Erwin was a World War II radio operator/gunner who received the Medal of Honor. The latest award winners are: MSgt. Christopher Cooper, Pope AFB, N.C.; TSgt. Erik Thompson, Hurlburt Field, Fla.; and SrA. Lisa Reagan, also at Hurlburt.
As with previous stealth aircraft unveilings, the Air Force’s imagery of the F-47 Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter has been doctored to keep adversaries guessing about its true shaping and design philosophy.
