Those Colorado Reservists who 
went off to fight wildfires in Colorado—in their first three days, they flew 14 sorties and dropped 36,500 gallons of fire retardant. The 302nd Airlift Wing, Peterson AFB, Colo., sent two of its specially equipped C-130s and 29 airmen to help put out the fires in Idaho last week. They filled in for Air National Guardsmen who were diverted to help with Katrina cleanup.
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.
