10th Air Force Commander visits Barksdale
Lt. Col. Joseph Jones, 93rd Bomb Squadron, commander, slaps a historical 93rd BS patch onto the shoulder of Maj. General Frank Padilla, 10th Air Force, commander, during the general’s visit to the 93rd BS headquarters building of the 917th Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., October 7, 2009. The patch design dates back to when the 93rd BS was the 93rd Aero Squadron deployed to Vaucouleurs, France, during World War I. Recently appointed, the 10th Air Force Commander is taking the opportunity to visit the 917th Wing and other commands under the 10 AF umbrella. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Jeff Walston)
