LOS ANGELES — Air Force Week in Los Angeles kicked off Friday with an opening ceremony, expo and aircraft flyover at the Hollywood & Highland Center in the heart of Hollywood.
On hand for the event were Gen. Bob Kehler, commander of Air Force Space Command, L.A. City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, actor Rick Schroder, numerous airmen from California bases and hundreds of school children waving American flags.
“This is an obviously an important place for the U.S. Air Force,” Kehler said of southern California, where numerous military bases and defense contractors are located. “It gives us an opportunity to interact with the people of Los Angeles, and most importantly this Air Force Week and all the others we have across the country give us the chance to interact with the people that we serve.”
