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 Space Force’s small size has limited its capacity to consider what role it will play in future operations on and around the moon. That needs to change, according to Vice Chief of Operations Gen. Shawn Bratton.
