Beale Inspires 3,000 Scouts in Honor of America’s 250th

A Scout Expo attendee takes a selfie with the U-2 Dragon Lady at Beale Air Force Base, California, on April 11, 2026. The event, held in honor of the America 250 Initiative, gave scouts a rare, up-close look at the aircraft and its high-pressure suit. The display aimed to show how the spirit of innovation and critical thinking required in aviation are the same skills needed to be a future leader. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
