South Korea's Defense Ministry says the B-52 bombers took part in aerial drills with other U.S. and South Korean fighter jets Friday over the peninsula. One F-16 Fighting Falcon that responded to the unresponsive Cessna made the jump to supersonic speed, though three others were also authorized to do so. The aircraft also participated in a joint military event in the town of Tuzla with Bosnia’s multi-ethnic army and U.S. Army Special Forces. On Dec. 10, 2022, an undisclosed in-flight malfunction forced a B-2 crew to make an emergency landing at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a directive to ground all airworthy Boeing B-17E, F and G models of the Flying Fortress aircraft. "This is an almost complete overhaul of the mission systems of the B-52 [that] will enable it to operate well into the future," says Andrew Hunter. The Biden administration is portraying plans from Republicans to gut the federal budget as jeopardizing national security. The Air Force wants to speed up efforts to become a more modern force, with new aircraft and research into technology such as drone wingmen. Olme is one of the first airmen to benefit from new service guidance on flying while pregnant. The Air Force declined to say what led to their ousters at Minot Air Force Base, or what disciplinary action they may face. Load More
