Stopping at Andersen AFB, Guam, on his tour of USAF bases in the Pacific Region, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne noted big changes to come for the Pacific island facility, mentioning the planned addition of Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles and adding that aerial refuelers might be in the picture, as well. He said that the Air Force envisions a future for Andersen that would include “possibly a permanent tanker squadron.”
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
