April: C-17 Flight (Photos)

Message from General Schneider: Military Affairs and Air Force Advisory Council Leaders,

Chief McCool and I want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your ongoing support, especially as we move closer to important land lease renewal conversations. Your work communicating the Department of the Air Force’s mission in Hawai’i through your network, local community, and state and federal leaders cannot be overstated. Your commitment to fostering strong relationships and promoting collaboration is invaluable to protecting our way of life and defense of the homeland.

We would also like to acknowledge the time you spared from your busy schedules to attend the C-17 flight on 8 April. Your presence and engagement are a testament to your dedication and advocacy. It’s partners like you who make all the difference.

Please feel free to share photos from the flight and my message from the cockpit with other council members, friends, family, and your network.

It was a pleasure flying with you and having the opportunity to demonstrate some of the incredible capabilities our Airmen participate in on a daily basis to defend a free and open Indo-Pacific every day.

Very Respectfully,
Kevin
KEVIN B. SCHNEIDER, General, USAF
Commander, Pacific Air Forces
