Shreve, Ohio, native, Staff Sgt. Chad Miller, a crew chief for the F-16 Demo Team from Misawa Air Base, Japan, speaks with airplane entusiasts during the 2011 Australia International Airshow on March 4. The event, held just outside of Melbourne, Vitoria, Australia, is one of the largest airshows in the world and takes place every two years. The U.S. and Australian alliance spans more than 60 years and provides an opportunity for U.S and senior military officials to engage with their Australian counterparts, and ultimately contribute toward interoperability between the two forces.
