US Central Command Air Forces said that USAF F-15s on Oct. 10 struck a group of building being used by insurgents as firing positions near Karabilah in Iraq. The Eagles launched three GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions against the buildings to aid coalition troops in the area.
The Air Force just got its hands on its first operational T-7A trainer jet, and officials are already thinking about adding a slew of upgrades—including some that could help the service use the Red Hawk to train less experienced pilots.
