A news report from Michigan claims that a state forester has found the wreckage of an Air National Guard F-89 Scorpion that crashed in 1964 after taking off from K.I. Sawyer AFB, Mich. The pilot, who ejected safely, was with the Minnesota ANG, reports WLUC TV 6 news. The question of the moment is why the wreckage was never removed. A Minnesota Guard spokesman told the news station that “times were much different then.”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited the site of U.S. Space Command’s future home Dec. 12 and endorsed the move to establish the headquarters in Alabama after years of political back and forth.
