An HC-130P and two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters with pararescuemen from the 23rd Wing at Moody AFB, Ga., last week rescued an individual from the Gulf of Mexico, 60 miles off the Florida coast. The Air Force Rescue Coordination Center at Tyndall AFB, Fla., tapped the 23rd after initial searches came up empty following report of a missing boat with two passengers, reports Capt. Dustin Hart. The boat had been last seen on the Steinhatchee River in Florida. Within four hours of their search, the 23rd Wing crews spotted an individual in the Gulf with the stranded boat.
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.
