Their idea came to fruition in 1962 when MATS held its first airdrop training competition. For the next several years the competition remained an annual event, but it fell by the wayside during the years of the United States' most intense participation in the Southeast Asia conflict. The airdrop competitions were reinstated in 1969 but were halted again in 1973, because of budget cuts and the reduced emphasis being given to airdrop operations. However, the esprit de corps engendered among the troops and the training benefits derived from the earlier events were not forgotten and prompted the competition's renewal in 1979 in its present form. Since 1979 the Rodeos have remained an important training event and tactical evaluation exercise for the Military Airlift Command. The following historical study deals with the origins, evolution, and results of the tactical airlift competitions in MATS and MAC.

  • The Heritage of the Force
    At the Air Force Museum, veterans are drawn to the vintage airplanes, but youngsters head straight for the F-16. The Heritage of the Force By John T. Correll HE US Air Force Museum at Dayton, Ohio, has be- come one of the top tourist attractions in the Midwest, Tdrawing 1.2 million visitors a year. On the approach from Interstate 675, the museum complex is vis- ible—and impressive—from a con- siderable distance. Three enormous hangars, built in the style of avia- tion Quonset huts, dominate the view. In the background are the build- ings and runways of Wright–Patterson Air Force Base. The museum grounds are part of the base, but the big exhi- bition hangars are outside the gates, so the public can enter freely. The airpower heritage is rich here. Dayton was the home of the Wright brothers. Huffman Prairie, where they worked and flew, is three miles away. This is the oldest and biggest mili- tary aviation museum in the world. Visitors can see about 250 airplanes. There is a replica of the 1909 Wright Military Flyer, a Sopwith Camel, the World War I biplane of Snoopy’s comic strip daydreams, a shark-mouthed P-40 in the war paint of the Flying Tigers of the China Air The Air Force Museum, which dates to 1923, completed its first new complex Task Force, a B-17 Flying Fortress, (shown in the inset) in 1971. The main photo also shows the second building that an F-86 Sabre, a B-52, an F-105 was added in 1988 and a third completed this summer.

    Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015 – The Air Force is committed to preventing, deterring, and prosecuting sexual assault in its ranks. This report contains a synopsis of sexual assault cases taken to trial by court-martial. The information contained herein is a matter of public record. This is the final report of this nature the Air Force will produce. All results of general and special courts-martial for trials occurring after 1 April 2015 will be available on the Air Force’s Court-Martial Docket Website (www.afjag.af.mil/docket/index.asp). SIGNIFICANT AIR FORCE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE SUMMARIES 2010 – March 2015 Note: This report lists cases involving a conviction for a sexual assault offense committed against an adult and also includes cases where a sexual assault offense against an adult was charged and the member was either acquitted of a sexual assault offense or the sexual assault offense was dismissed, but the member was convicted of another offense involving a victim. The Air Force publishes these cases for deterrence purposes. Sex offender registration requirements are governed by Department of Defense policy in compliance with federal and state sex offender registration requirements. Not all convictions included in this report require sex offender registration. Beginning with July 2014 cases, this report also indicates when a victim was represented by a Special Victims’ Counsel. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, sexual assaults against those 16 years of age and older are charged as crimes against adults. The appropriate disposition of sexual assault allegations and investigations may not always include referral to trial by court-martial.
