Sheppard AFB Photo Gallery

Thank you for visiting the Sheppard Air Force Base photo gallery. Since the site was established in 2007, thousands of images from training activities to support functions, family events and more have been captured and posted here. A change in the content management system has limited the number of gallery pages to 100, so guests will not be able to scroll through the pages to the very beginning of our collection. However, guests can search for images by using keywords such as names, a specific squadron, an aircraft, or event. 

Some Sheppard images and other products can also be found on our Defense Visual Information Distribution Service page.

Vietnam POW receives ring 44 years after imprisonment

Brig. Gen. O.G. Mannon, left, 82nd Training Wing commander, and Col. Kevin Schneider, 80th Flying Training Wing commander, present a box that contains a wedding ring and dog tag Nov. 11 to retired Air Force Col. James Hivner and his wife, Phyllis, at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas. The colonel was shot down 44 years ago over North Vietnam. His North Vietnamese captors confiscated the items, along with a "rat fink" given to him by one of his daughters, when he was taken prisoner. He was released Feb. 12, 1973.
