The Air National Guard’s 110th Fighter Wing, Battle Creek, Mich., has received an Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with Valor. The Battle Creek Enquirer reports that the 110th earned the award for actions in Operation Southern Watch and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The 110th was the unit in the hot seat for the no-fly zone enforcement over Southern Iraq, when the US kicked off Iraqi Freedom. A scant two months later, the unit deployed 12 A-10 aircraft back to Southwest Asia for OIF.
The B-52 bombers that flew off the coast of Venezuela on Oct. 15 were accompanied by Marine Corps F-35s as part of a so-called “Bomber Attack Demonstration,” according to new images and information from the Pentagon.
