Col. Michael Manion, 55th Wing commander, gives opening remarks to a crowd during the War and Peace event commemorating the 70th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force and 100th anniversary of the U.K. Royal Air Force ceremony on April 7, 2018 inside the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, Nebraska. The U.S. Air Force and the RAF have a long history together and have shared local ties since 2011 when the Department of Defense and the U.K. Ministry of Defense came to an agreement allowing the RAF to purchase three RC-135 aircraft.
