Air Combat Command is looking for a few good pilots with vintage fighters to fly in its Heritage Flight. According to a July 30 release, “The program is open to highly experienced pilots in the air show environment with [US Army Air Forces]/USAF fighter-type warbirds from [World War II], Korea, or Vietnam conflict eras.” ACC has posted an application on its Aerial Events Web page and wants them in by Sept. 30.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
