The Pentagon has identified the three airmen killed Jan. 7 by an improvised explosive device in the Baghdad area. They were: TSgt. Timothy R. Weiner, 35, of Tamarac, Fla.; SrA. Elizabeth A. Loncki, 23, of New Castle, Del.; and SrA. Daniel B. Miller Jr., 24, from Galesburg, Ill. All three explosive ordnance disposal airmen were deployed to Iraq from Hill AFB, Utah. The Pentagon release did not identify the fourth airman who was injured.
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.
