As part of the Air Force’s commemoration of its 60th anniversary, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne launched a special 60th anniversary artwork exhibit at the Pentagon last week. Several Air Force Art Program artists attended the small ribbon-cutting event. Among them was renowned aviation artist Keith Ferris, who said that the artists in the program “have a real responsibility to do a painting that is going to last for 200 years or more.” The special exhibit is located in the Air Force-maintained section of the Pentagon.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
