Col. Mark Howard and CMSgt Andrew Small want to extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us at this year's Defenders of Freedom Air & Space Show. Your presence made the event truly special! A huge round of applause to all the incredible performers and static display teams who made this weekend unforgettable, especially the Thunderbirds and the Golden Knights, whose displays of skill and dedication were second to none.

While the 55th Wing didn’t slow down for the air show, now that this mission is accomplished, our focus shifts back to confronting aggression, deterring conflict, and projecting strength in ways only the 55th Wing can. We remain committed to securing America and standing ready for any challenge. Thank you for your continued support!
