A Randolph AFB, Tex., T-38 Talon trainer crashed Feb. 22 at around 12:45 p.m. about 12 miles south of Hondo, Tex. The pilot of the 12th Flying Training Wing aircraft ejected safely. The Air Force has launched an accident investigation. According to KENS 5 TV, the trainer crashed in the “middle of a large private ranch.”
The KC-Z4, a blended wing body tanker concept being developed by startup JetZero, could fuel larger groups of aircraft at longer range to hold more targets at risk, company officials say.
