Foster, and Chick Cleveland, retired Air Force Korean War flying aces, pose in front of an F-22 Raptor April 9, 2013, during a Sabre Society tour at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. A flying ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down several enemy aircraft during aerial combat. Buttleman has seven victories, Foster has nine, and Cleveland has five. The actual number of aerial victories required to officially qualify as an ace has varied, but is usually considered to be five or more. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Airman 1st Class Jason Couillard)
