With the April 3 internment of the remains of Air National Guard Maj. Perry H. Jefferson at Arlington National Cemetery, all of the Colorado National Guardsmen missing in action from the Vietnam War have been laid to rest, reports TSgt. Mike Smith of the National Guard Bureau. The Defense POW/Missing Personnel Officeidentified Jefferson’s remains last year. He was flying on an O-1 Bird Dog on April 3, 1969, that never returned to base; a three-day search found no trace and further searches were called off because of hostile action in the area.
Anduril and General Atomics will develop their Collaborative Combat Aircraft for the Air Force, beating out Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, the service announced on April 24. But any of the non-selected companies can compete to actually manufacture the eventual design, the Air Force said.
