U.S. Air Force Reserve Citizen Airman Lt. Col. Timothy Mitchell, former 47th Fighter Squadron commander, and Jessica Lawson, 944th Fighter Wing historian, take a photo with Art Conservators Timothy Lewis and Matilde Rubio, Tohono Restoration, after they unveiled the units’ flag from WWII at the 47th FS clubhouse at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., March 3, 2023.
