Air Forces Central provided us with complete data on the monthly airdrop totals so far this year in Afghanistan, so we have updated our air sorties chart. Also, we have revised an entry from last month on Air Force convoy operations in Iraq to correct a misquote in the Air Force’s original release.
An F-16 Fighting Falcon assigned to the Texas Air National Guard’s 149th Fighter Wing crashed during a training mission in Michigan on Sept. 17. The fighter's sole pilot ejected and is in stable condition at a local hospital.
