Air Force Space Command plans to hold the space and missile competition known as Guardian Challenge, culminating in an awards banquet on Aug. 17. Real-world deployments caused the command to cancel the Challenge last year. Peterson AFB, Colo., home to AFSPC headquarters and several space units, is host to this year’s competition. The command’s helicopter crews held their portion of the competition in May at Camp Guernsey, Wyo.
Pratt & Whitney recently received more than $1.2 billion worth of contracts to sustain the F100 engines flown in older-model F-15s and F-16s.
