Raptor letter flight

Lt. Col. Brian Baldwin, a Reserve F-22 pilot assigned to the 302nd Fighter Squadron, takes off from Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson Alaska Jan. 24. Tucked into his flight suit is a letter written by 9-year old MacAidan “Mac” Gallegos to his father Sgt. Justin Gallegos, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2009. Mac wanted the letter flown as close to heaven as possible on his father’s birthday. (U.S. Air Force Reserve Photo/Tech. Sgt. Dana Rosso)
