An unmanned aerial vehicle—an MQ-1 Predator—crashed five miles southeast of Baghdad Airport on Jan. 17. US Central Command Air Forces officials report no damages, no injuries, and no indications that the incident was due to hostile activity.
The Air Force has finished resurrecting a B-1B Lancer, completing a yearslong process to transform a bomber that had been stored for parts in the Arizona desert into the new flagship of the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.
