The Air Force has concluded that a B-52 crew from the 96th Bomb Squadron, Barksdale AFB, La., entered incorrect coordinates for inert bombs they were to drop over a training range, reports Associated Press news service. The bombs fell into a popular recreational lake in Kansas, near the Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range, injuring no one and damaging no property.
The Air Force has finished modifying and testing the new VC-25B Bridge aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One, the service announced May 1. All that’s left now is to finish painting the jet before it starts flying this summer.
