Remembering Col. Earl Young

Retired Air Force Col. Earl B. Young, 18th Air Force’s first commander, passed away Dec. 5 at the age of 102. Young served as the 18th Air Force commander when the Numbered Air Force first activated in 1951. After his retirement Young remained an inspiring figure for 18th Air Force and, when able, attended special ceremonies for the command. Most recently, he cut the ribbon on the newly renovated 18th AF headquarters building on Scott AFB in July. The Earl Young Conference Room in that headquarters is named in his honor.
