U.S. Air Force senior leaders and Airmen from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, Royal Air Force Mildenhall, are all smiles as they proudly pose for a photo with legendary World War II veteran and 100th Bomb Group B-17 pilot, retired-Maj. John “Lucky” Luckadoo, after a ceremony honoring the 80th anniversary of “Black Week” at the 100th BG Memorial Museum, Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk, England, Oct. 10, 2023. Lucky flew 25 combat missions out of Thorpe Abbotts during World War II – the average being eight to 12 – and achieved his dream of returning to his former base in England to once again visit the control tower, buildings and original airfield, museum volunteers, Airmen from the 100th ARW and family members of other 100th BG veterans (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
