Air Forces Central boss, Lt. Gen. Gary North, presented a Bronze Star medal to Capt. Josh Aultman during a visit to Sather Air Base in Iraq April 15. Aultman has been serving as communications planner for the Multi-National Force-Baghdad and received the medal for his “exceptional performance and outstanding bravery,” according to the 447th Air Expeditionary Group photo release.
The Air Force has finished modifying and testing the new VC-25B Bridge aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One, the service announced May 1. All that’s left now is to finish painting the jet before it starts flying this summer.
