Capt. Dane Collette, 11th Bomb Squadron, co-pilot, Lt. Cols Joseph Jones, commander of the 93rd Bomb Squadron, Robert Vanhoy, 93rd BS command pilot, Technical Sgt. Jeff Walston, 917th Wing, public affairs technician, Senior Airman Kimberly Simon, 717th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, Maj. Chris Anderson, flight commander, 93rd BS, and Lt. Col. Chris Talbot, flight commander, 93rd BS pose for a picture on the ramp at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., after a training sortie in a 917th Wing B-52 Stratofortress, Nov. 5, 2010. Airman Simon and Sergeant Walston were on the training mission with a 93rd BS crew as a part of the 917th Wing Commander’s program of incentive flights for top performers. Airman Simon and Sergeant Walston were named the 917h Wing’s Airman and Non-Commissioned Officer of the Quarter for the second quarter of 2010. Fortunately, Capt. Kerry Baker, a radar navigator with the 93rd BS, who was also part of the crew, agreed to take a photo for the two quarterly winners and therefore was not able to appear in the photo.
