he Arnold Engineering Development Center in Tennessee has dedicated an F-4C Phantom it has on static display to two airmen who flew with the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron during the Vietnam War. They are: Col. Lawrence Golberg and Maj. Patrick Wynne, the brother of Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne. Golberg and Patrick Wynne were killed on an Aug. 8, 1966 reconnaissance mission flown out of Ubon RTAB, Thailand. The aircraft is similar to the one they flew and did serve with the 555th TFS.

A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
