482 flagship dedication
Col. Randy Falcon (right), 482nd Fighter Wing commander, thanks some of the Maintenance Group Airmen who went ‘above and beyond’ in refurbishing the flagship of the 482nd Fighter Wing, aircraft # 290. 482nd Maintenance Group Airmen presented the commander with a pristine jet after a flawless repainting and meticulous cleaning here July 15. Each Air Force wing commander is authorized an aircraft designated as the flagship, or commander’s plane. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Paul Dean)
