Sixty members of the Utah Air National Guard’s 109th Air Control Squadron have deployed to Southwest Asia for the fourth time since 2000, reports the Salt Lake Tribune. They deployed to Iraq for seven months in 2003 and 2004, and, here at home, the squadron also supported Operation Noble Eagle for a year.
The Air Force has finished resurrecting a B-1B Lancer, completing a yearslong process to transform a bomber that had been stored for parts in the Arizona desert into the new flagship of the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.
