Kansas State University has named its military science building after retired Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Myers, who graduated from KSU in 1965 and earned his commission through Air Force ROTC, now serves at the university under a part-time appointment as a professor of military history and leadership. Among dignitaries at the naming ceremony was Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said Myers is “an outstanding officer, and he is a consummate gentleman, and that is a nice combination.”
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.
