Naval aviators give credit where credit is due. In the latest issue of Balad’s Red Tail Flyer, Navy Lt. Bryan Sory offered his appreciation for USAF air traffic controllers in Iraq, writing: “I’ve flown under their control many times and each time came away impressed by their level of professionalism and dedication. … Were it not for their selfless service, my job, and those of countess other aviators, would be difficult if not impossible.”
The U.S. military is deploying significant airpower in the Caribbean one week after carrying out an airstrike on what it said was a boat operated by a Venezuelan drug cartel.
