    U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 (Ret.) John Edmunds, a Vietnam veteran and retired military aviator, tours an F-22 Raptor with Staff Sgt. John Karnauk, a dedicated crew chief, and Staff Sgt. Robin Wharton, a multi-capable Airman assigned to the F-22 Raptor Aerial Demonstration Team, during an airshow at Naval Air Station Meridian, Mississippi, March 29, 2026. Edmunds, who logged more than 21,000 flight hours during his career, shared his aviation experience while learning about modern Air Force capabilities. Interactions like these honor the legacy of past service while connecting it to today’s force. (U.S. Air Force photo by SSgt Lauren Diaz)
