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.”
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
