Air Force Reserve Command’s 939th Air Refueling Wing has rededicated a memorial to the 10 Reservists who died on Nov. 22, 1996, when their HC-130, with the call sign King 56, crashed into the Pacific Ocean. The monument originally resided at the home of the 939th Air Refueling Wing (formerly the 939th Rescue Wing) at Portland, Ore. The 939th ARW is drawing down operations at Portland under BRAC 2005.
While the Sentinel ICBM program writ large is undergoing a major restructure due to cost and schedule overages, prime contractor Northrop Grumman is touting progress on milestones with the missile itself.
