Air Force fighter pilot and academic instructor, retired Lt. Col. Lloyd “Boots” Boothby, died Nov. 26, according to a Dec. 5 Air Force news release. Boothby led Project Red Baron at the Tactical Air Warfare Center at Nellis AFB, Nev., to improve the service’s air-to-air performance following the Vietnam War. His efforts helped create more realistic training, including dissimilar air combat training—the aggressor force.
The Air Force wants to promote working out, healthy eating habits, and a holistic approach to well-being for both Airmen and Guardians as part of a new “Culture of Fitness” initiative announced Sept. 18.
