The Airlift/Tanker Association Hall of Fame has honored retired Maj. Gen. James “Bagger” Baginski with a bronze bust in front of the 375th Airlift Wing headquarters building at Scott AFB, Ill. At an Oct. 2 ceremony, Gen. Duncan McNabb, head of Air Mobility Command, said everyone at AMC is “deeply indebted to the Bagger,” who “foresaw and shaped the future of air mobility and then made it happen.”
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.
