Since its early days as a service, the Air Force has embraced technological advances in air and space capabilities and played an integral role as a global airpower.

Every day, Airmen and Air Force civilians around the globe document that display of airpower.

Each year, Airman Magazine creates "Airman Aerials", a photographic art gallery, to honor their efforts by featuring some of the best aerial photography from around the service in the previous 12 months.
