Rachel Keener, 334th Training Squadron; Staff Sgt. Shawn Kraus, 81st Diagnostics and Therapeutics Squadron, and Maj. Kris Colley, who represented Capt. William Fields, currently deployed from the 45th Airlift Squadron, for their involvement in the 2009 air show slogan contest. Captain Fields' submission, Thunder on the Bay, was selected by a base-wide vote by nearly 1,100 Keesler members. The air show is slated for April 4-5, 2009. Coordinators are working to secure top-quality performance and static aircraft for the event, including the Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
