Col. Margaret Woodward, commander of 6th Air Mobility Wing, MacDill AFB, Fla., says she is canceling next spring’s air show for security reasons, though there is no specific threat. Woodward believes the wing’s operational tempo limits the resources the unit could tap to protect the 6,000-acre facility.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
