Kadena Eagle Sunset Celebration: Piano Burn

A U.S. Air Force pilot from the 18th Wing adds kindling to a fire during the Kadena Eagle Sunset Celebration Piano Burn at Kadena Air Base, Japan, April 14, 2023. The piano burning tradition started after a Royal Air Force pilot known for playing the piano was killed in action during World War II. The members of the RAF squadron honored the fallen pilot by burning the piano in his honor. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Micaiah Anthony)
