#FacesOfEielson:“I like being able to travel and seeing things I would have never been able to see. Like going to Valdez and Seward and being able to see beluga whales out in the wild.” - Staff Sgt. Emilee Edelman, a 354th Comptroller Squadron budget analyst.

#ThrowbackThursday: It was only last week when Eielson took on Fort Wainwright in Major League Baseball’s 24 hours of “Play Ball” for the summer solstice, but it was an epic game. The Icemen, down 11-5 going into the final inning, managed to come back and win the game 12-11! Here are the highlights of the action around the diamond.

This is what we do. This is #RedFlagAlaska. Whether you were in the cockpit of an A-10 or on the flightline turning wrenches, each of you played an important role in making Red Flag a success. Here's a behind the scenes, in-depth look at the partcipants that made it all happen. **We'd like to extend a special thank you to the Japan Air Self Defense Force and the Republic of Singapore Air Force for providing extensive footage from their flights.** (U.S. Air Force video by the 354th Fighter Wing Public Affairs Team) 124th Fighter Wing Mountain Home Air Force Base Gunfighters Holloman Air Force Base Luke AFB, Arizona-56th Fighter Wing Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea 51st Fighter Wing, Osan Air Base (Official) MacDill Air Force Base Eglin Air Force Base KadenaAirBase Yokota Air Base Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson JBER (official) 1/25 SBCT "Arctic Wolves" 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Camp Pendleton 3/20th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Fort Wainwright Official Navy Information Operations Command Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Oceana 18th Field Artillery Brigade U.S. Army Alaska Alaskan Command & 11th Air Force U.S. Pacific Air Forces Air Mobility Command Air Force Special Operations Command U.S. Indo-Pacific Command United States Air Force U.S. Army U.S. Navy U.S. Department of State 航空自衛隊 Japan Air Self-Defense Force The Republic of Singapore Air Force

It’s #SummerSolstice and that means #Alaska is getting almost 22 hours of sunlight! And one of the most unique things about the solstice in Fairbanks is getting the opportunity to see the “Midnight Sun” baseball game. There is so much sunlight that the game is able to be played without the help of any stadium lights. This year marks the 113th iteration of this baseball classic. This game is just one of the many things that makes being stationed at Eielson AFB such a unique opportunity. (U.S. Air Force Photo by 2d Lt Kitsana Dounglomchan)
