US Air Force SSgt. Janna E. Less, a security forces airman from the 501st Combat Support Wing, died Saturday. She was stationed at RAF Croughton, United Kingdom, with the 422nd Security Forces Squadron. The cause of death is under investigation, but no further information was released. “We are heartbroken by this tragedy,” said Col. Kevin Cullen, 501st CSW commander. “Our thoughts and prayers are with sergeant Less’ family during this incredibly difficult time.”
The KC-Z4, a blended wing body tanker concept being developed by startup JetZero, could fuel larger groups of aircraft at longer range to hold more targets at risk, company officials say.
