Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We are pleased by the rapid compliance across the Department with the directive removing DEI content from all platforms. In the rare cases that content is removed that is out of the clearly outlined scope of the directive, we instruct components accordingly."

What? Over 26,000 images have been flagged so far, many being of historically significant events with seemingly no tie to DEI. One of the flagged subjects is that of the Enola Gay, the very same Boeing B-29 Superfortress that dropped the first wartime atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945.
