A crew flying a Douglas C-74 Globemaster I, The Champ, lands at RAF Marham, United Kingdom, after a 23-hour flight from Mobile, Ala. On board are 103 passengers and crew—the first time an aircraft has flown 100 individuals across the Atlantic.
The Air Force will send off its final A-10 Thunderbolt II from depot maintenance this month and deactivate the unit that performs overhauls, upgrades, and rebuilds on the venerable close air support jet.
