President Richard M. Nixon dedicates the new U.S. Air Force Museum building at Wright- Patterson Air Force Base, in Dayton, Ohio. A drive to raise private funds for the new museum building began in 1960. Now called the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, it is the world’s largest and oldest military aviation museum.
The Space Force’s Combat Forces Command is expanding its footprint with the creation of two new operations hubs for electronic warfare and satellite communications.
