100th OG burns piano to mark end of successful flying year, honors lost US service members

A firefighter from the 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department puts out the ashes of a burning piano at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Oct. 1, 2021. The 100th Operations Group set fire to a piano as they followed a Royal Air Force World War II tradition to remember military members who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The event also marked the end of a successful flying and fiscal year for 2021, and the team’s hard work in Rockin’ ‘D’ Mish. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
