In this teaser episode, we kick off America 250: Air and Space Power Story, a year-long journey honoring the 250th anniversary of the United States through the lens of airpower and spacepower. Every state has played a role in shaping America’s Air Force and Space Force—and over the next 50 weeks, we’ll tell those stories one state at a time, following the order they joined the Union. Each episode highlights a tangible, visitable connection to air or space power—from historic aircraft and launch sites to innovation hubs and local institutions—along with honorable mentions that expand the story. We’ll also invite listeners to weigh in on what should be highlighted from their own communities. Air and space power is not a single story, but a collective tapestry of people, innovation, service, sacrifice, and technology. This series is our effort to tell as much of that story as possible—starting with Delaware, the First State.
