Two Air Force crews complete the first trans-Pacific helicopter flight as they land their Sikorsky HH-53Cs at Da Nang Air Base, South Vietnam, after a 9,000-mile flight from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The helicopters were refueled in flight.
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.
