Thursday, April 23, 2015 Vol. 59 No. 16 The world’s greatest fighter pilot By Senior Airman Tiffany DeNault 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The world’s self-proclaimed greatest fighter pilot, retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Edward Mechenbier, recently visited Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station and Peterson AFB as part of an American300 tour. Mechenbier began his career during the Vietnam War as a fighter pilot in the F-4 Phantom, F-100 Super Sabre and A-7 Corsair II among other aircraft. His aircraft was shot down June 14, 1967, and for six years he was held prisoner of war in Vietnam. Mechenbier and Robi Powers, a veteran and the founder of American300, began their trip at Cheyenne Mountain AFS meeting with personnel April 13. The next day they met with members of the 21st Security Forces Squadron and got to check out their training facility. The American300 is a volunteer, non-profit organization which focuses on spending quality time with service members, bringing subject matter experts on resiliency to mentor and embed a sense of hope and understanding of the capabilities people possess in certain situations whether it is in war or on the home front. Mechenbier told his story on being tortured, living with rats and only eating 42 grains of rice and water every day. He also explained how he (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Tiffany DeNault) and the other POWs learned to survive.

By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — More than 30 technology and tech-related vendors descended on Peterson Air Force Base April 14 to display their wares and meet customers at the Tech & Space Ops Support Showcase held at The Club. Whether it was emergency management software, nearly indestructible communications devices and computers, cyber security solutions, secure video conferencing equipment or data storage you were looking for, attendees had multiple options at the show. Even with the 31st Annual Space Symposium taking place in town, there was a steady stream of interested people visiting vendor booths. The show provided opportunities not only to demonstrate goods and services for potential customers, but to connect with existing customers as well. “I have customers here on base that came by and brought their team with them,” said Dana Sanders Nickel, one of the many vendors at the expo. Customers and those seeking solutions to tech quandaries found having so many vendors in one place beneficial. Capt. Barney Ales, Headquarters Air Force Space Command, thought it was helpful to see what types of things vendors have available for potential needs. “It is always good to have dialogue between the military and industry,” Ales said. “Because industry provides solutions you sometimes didn’t know about.”

They said they were just average American volunteers. “The Doolittle Raiders came from a generation that spoke proudly of service to their country, but rarely drew attention to their own courage,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown. “They sought no recognition, but oh, how they’ve earned it.” The medal is displayed at the museum, rotating near the Raiders’ 80 silver goblets, only two of which remain upright. The Raiders said they hope the Doolittle Exhibit educates the younger generation, and Thatcher had advice for current and future Airmen. “Be prepared for anything you run into — we weren’t,” he said. “Learn everything you possibly can, and be good at it.” Both Cole and Thatcher spoke of the raid and their fellow crew members with fondness and twinkling eyes, all with an undercurrent of humor and humility. “Tonight’s affair couldn’t have been planned more accu- rately,” Cole said. “As I remember, the mission was over, it was Saturday night, on the 18th of April and about this time, David Thatcher was on the beach in China saving the rest of his crew, and I was hanging in my parachute in a tree.” With only 158 Congressional Gold Medals ever awarded, the Raiders are in the company of men like former President (Gen.) George Washington. “The Congressional Gold Medal is a testament to the heroic achievements and lasting impact of the Doolittle Raiders,” said Rep. Mike Turner. “We want you to know that the United States of America is forever indebted to you, for not only the (U.S. Air Force photo/Will Haas) sacrifices and valor you displayed that day, but also for how Doolittle Raiders retired Lt.
