    Retired Col. Michael Van Hoomissen, U.S. Air Force Academy Class of 1979 president, commemorates the sculpture of an AC-130H Spectre gunship, call sign Spirit 03, during a ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colo., May 5, 2023. Fourteen Airmen, to include Maj. Paul Weaver who graduated from the Academy in 1979, died when an Iraqi surface-to-air missile struck Spirit 03 during a combat mission in support of Operation Desert Storm. The sculpture is displayed at the Academy’s Honor Court. (U.S. Air Force photo by Justin R. Pacheco)
