The first powered flight in Canada was made by John McCurdy in "Silver Dart" on this day in 1909. Built by Alexander Graham Bell's Aerial Experiment Association, the aircraft's name was inspired by the silver-looking rubberized fabric that covered it.

🚀The @usairforce rolled out its plan for the LGM-35A Sentinel program, which will deliver the nation’s next-generation, modernized, land-based nuclear deterrent to America’s warfighters. #readiness afnwc.af.mil/News/Article-D…

The @AFResearchLab, a SMART Sponsoring Facility, is advancing lifesaving medical technology with its mobile medical documentation tool now being tested by Maryland State Police flight paramedic crews. The Battlefield Assisted Trauma Distributed Observation Kit (BATDOK) helps medics monitor patients, complete documentation, and support decision making in real time as they transport injured individuals to trauma centers. This is the first time BATDOK is being used in civilian operations in the U.S. “We are proud to deliver this technology to military and now civilian medics, helping to save lives on the battlefield and beyond,” said Brig. Gen. Robert Bogart, 711th Human Performance Wing commander.

#SBLX AIRPOWER!

Engineering in action! DECA Middle Schoolers took on a Reverse Engineering challenge from "WOW! on Wheels." They deconstructed devices and then wrote the manuals for other teams to rebuild them. Awesome for developing critical thinking, writing, and collaboration skills!

6th-8th graders at DECA Middle School took a deep dive into civil engineering with a "WOW! on Wheels" Bridges lesson! They explored the history of bridge design and the critical forces of tension and compression that engineers must master.

Excellence personified. @OfficialCSAF recognized @af_academy graduate 2nd Lt. Renata Russell as the 2025 Air Force Cadet of the Year. dvidshub.net/r/9m22aw
