Happy holidays!

Visitors to the National Air and Space Museum’s Milestones Hall were surprised by flashers—120 of them—on Tuesday, Dec. 3. The United States Air Force Band formed a flash mob at noon to perform a special arrangement of Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man\’s Desiring” and “Joy to the World.” What a lovely way to welcome the holiday season!
