Victims of T-39 Crash Identified: Among the four people killed in the Jan. 11 crash of a US Navy T-39 was Air Force 1st Lt. Jason W. Davis, 28, of Vista, Calif., who was in navigator training at NAS Pensacola, Fla. The other victims, according to a Navy statement, were Navy Lt. Jason S. Manse, 30, of Canton, Ohio; Navy Ensign Elizabeth Bonn, 23, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; and retired Navy Cmdr. Dave Roark, 68, who was a contract pilot.
The Air Force wants to pump more than $12 billion over the next five years into its new affordable long-range missiles program and recently asked industry to push the flights of some of those munitions beyond 1,200 miles.
