Retired Col. Jack Ahren Sims died June 9 in Naples, Fla., at age 88. Sims was one of the pilots of the famed Doolittle Raiders, flying off the USS Hornet to attack the Japanese Home islands in April 1942.
A semi-autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft drone shot down an air-to-air target in a Dec. 8 test supported by the U.S. Air Force, a notable milestone in the development of the loyal wingman-type drones that will join the fleets of the USAF, other American services, and allies and adversaries.
