An Air Force Flight Standards Agency C-21 crashed around 11:30 a.m. yesterday at the Decatur, Ill. airport. Air Force officials say the two pilots on board were sent to a local hospital for observation. The Herald-Review reports that the two airmen walked away from the crash. The pilots, assigned to AFFSA’s unit at the Will Rogers Air National Guard Station in Oklahoma City, were conducting touch-and-go training at the Decatur airport. The accident is under investigation.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
