ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska—A crowd of about 150,000 people attended Arctic Thunder 2003, the base’s annual open house and air show, June 28 and 29. The show’s theme was “A Century in the Sky.” It commemorated the centennial of flight with performances by a World War II-era B-25 Mitchell bomber and a Heritage Flight, in which a P-51 Mustang and an F-15 Eagle flew in formation. The show also featured the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ryan Mattox)
