4/2/2012 - FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. (AFNS) -- One of the hottest new singers on the reality TV circuit shares the stage with an old friend turning 50 in the April issue of AIRMAN magazine.

Following her appearance on the popular NBC reality talent show, the "Voice," singer Angie Johnson is the subject of a feature by writer Randy Roughton and photographer Tech. Sgt. Bennie Davis who follow Johnson as she balances a budding music career with her part time job as a bandsman in the Air National Guard.

The last B-52 "Stratofortress" ever made turns 50 this year and writer Tech. Sgt. Chris Powell and photographer Davis travel to Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to follow tail number 1040, tracing its history over the past five decades.

The April edition also delves into family issues, as writer Tech. Sgt. Mareshah Haynes and photographer Master Sgt. Jeremy Lock travel to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, to focus on the opening of a new Fisher House that provides service members and their families a place to stay during medical emergencies.

On the mission scene, writer Master Sgt. Larry W. Carpenter Jr. takes us to the Gulf Coast for a glimpse of "Emerald Warrior 2012," a pre-deployment air and ground training exercise for special operations forces.
