The Michigan Adjutant General, Air National Guard Maj. Gen. Tom Cutler, is searching for a new interim mission for the 110th Fighter Wing in Battle Creek, which loses its A-10s to Selfridge by 2011. The Battle Creek unit is in line for the new Joint Cargo Aircraft, however, now it’s not supposed to arrive before 2012, reports the Lansing State Journal. Cutler would like to get another flying mission. Good luck.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
