An F-15 fighter from the Missouri Air National Guard’s 131st Fighter Wing at Lambert Field in St. Louis crashed yesterday in the Military Operating Area near Terre Haute, Ind. The pilot ejected safely, and there were no injuries. The Courier-Press reports that the Indiana ANG had sent a team to the crash site, which was south of Vincennes near the Illinois state line. The pilot was on a training mission as part of a four-ship formation.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
