The President has nominated Lt. Gen. Roger Brady to take charge of US Air Forces in Europe, replacing Gen. Tom Hobbins, who announced his retirement earlier this year. Brady, who has served as the Air Force’s deputy chief of staff for personnel since June 2004, is a command pilot who flew both the KC-135 and C-5. He has served in various staff and command assignments, including stints at USAFE when he headed logistics and plans and programs. If confirmed, he would receive a fourth star.
The National Garden of American Heroes, a statuary park being planned at President Donald J. Trump’s behest, will tentatively include the likenesses of U.S. aviation and aerospace pioneers including Benjamin O. Davis Jr., James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle, Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, and William “Billy” Mitchell—just to name a few.
