"NORAD 35mm presentation slides," slide 27 of 41 [gallery]
A portrait of a military official, presumably in the US Air Force given the wings pinned to his jacket. He has a few ribbons, and maybe a medal on his right breast. He looks to be in his late 40s, his hairline recedes a bit. His epaulets have three clusters plus some kind of cross like the way bones cross in a skull-and-crossbones.

"MATHER NAV TRAINING S--1124 Bx 1 of 2," slide 25 of 40 [gallery]
A blue tinted photo of a large prop plane, a bomber,
headed towards the camera, pitched just a big below
our point of view.  It's over the ocean, and behind
is the shore of what looks like a Hawaiiand or other
Pacific island coastline -- hilly, green, maybe
mountainous/volcanic.id:94 db:ec67f
