Shaw Now Has Second Flight Recorder: The Navy is turning over to the Air Force a second flight recorder from the F-16 that crashed into the ocean on April 5 during a training mission off the South Carolina coast, according to the Sumter (S.C.) Item. Crews from the USS Grapple recovered the fighter’s ejection seat, which contains the recorder, Lt. Bryan Cox, spokesman for Shaw AFB, S.C., told the paper.
While the Sentinel ICBM program writ large is undergoing a major restructure due to cost and schedule overages, prime contractor Northrop Grumman is touting progress on milestones with the missile itself.
