AFA/AEF National Report

摘要

When Air Force Association National President Robert E."Bob" Largent spent three days in Hawaii learning about Air Force operations there, the base newspaper let its airmen know about it. "AFA President Visits Hickam," the headline proclaimed. Largent was in the 50th State in May as part of an orientation to Pacific Air Forces and its new missions. He traveled to Alaska and Guam, as well, at the invitation of PACAF commander, Gen. Paul V. Hester. In Alaska-where his AFA host was Alaska State President Gary A. Hoff of the Edward J. Monaghan Chapter-Largent received briefings at Elmendorf Air Force Base. The facility had been selected as home for two F/A-22 squadrons, so Largent learned how the base was preparing for the Raptors.
