U.S. Air Force Capt. Scott Pippin, a 13th Fighter Squadron F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot, explains the 35th Fighter Wing’s mission and their heritage as “Wild Weasels” while talking with Wenatchee Valley delegates visiting Misawa City during their annual cultural exchange tour at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Aug. 24, 2017. The visitors, consisting of city mayors, college and high school students, and respective family members, visit Misawa City annually highlighting the legacy of community relations initiated by the historic Miss Veedol flight in 1931. The flight was the first non-stop transpacific flight by two Americans from Wenatchee, Washington, and who took off from Misawa City, Japan. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
