An F-16 fighter assigned to the 388th Fighter Wing at Hill AFB, Utah, crashed on May 4 at the Utah Test and Training Range, announced wing officials. The pilot successfully ejected and was being evaluated by medical personnel, they said. The Air Force will investigate the cause of the mishap and will release more information as it becomes available, they said.
When Space Force leaders started talking about expanding the service early this year, the idea was simple: double the size of the force in the next five years. At AFA’s Air, Space & Cyber conference this week, officials detailed just how they’re planning to grow so much so quickly.
