Show-Me-State Attorney General Jay Nixon filed a lawsuit in federal district court to prevent the Pentagon from moving the F-15 fighters of the Air National Guard’s 131st Fighter Wing out of the state.

How this lawsuit differs from the one shot down by an earlier US district court ruling remains to be seen.
