Black History Month: A legacy of honor

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Demetrius Thornton, 605th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron primary flying crew chief, checks the engine of a KC-10 Extender in preparation for a Black History Month heritage air-refueling flight on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, Feb. 13, 2020. Thornton explained that while organizing the flight to give recognition to his Wing and honor BHM, he realized how few African-American aircrew members there are.
