Air Force Colonel Jason Nalepa, 173rd Fighter Wing Operations Group Commander, flies the 173rd FW "Heritage Jet" F-15 in formation with a B-17 Flying Fortress over Crater Lake during the Sentry Eagle Open House event June 24, 2022, near Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon. This photo is particularly significant as it shows the airframe on which the unit's namesake, 2nd Lt. David R. Kingsley, perished during World War II.
