Twenty airmen from Los Angeles AFB, Calif., recently got to play a background role on the popular Fox TV show “24,” performing as honor guard members for a May 22 episode. The show’s crew filmed a scene on the flightline at NAS Pt. Mugu, Calif., where the Space and Missile Systems Center and 61st Air Base Group airmen mingled with other military members watching the filming.
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.
