An Air Force MQ-1 Predator remotely piloted aircraft crashed on the Nevada Test and Training Range northwest of Las Vegas during a routine training mission, announced officials at nearby Creech Air Force Base. No one was injured on May 1 when the aircraft came down in an unpopulated area one mile southeast of Cactus Springs, according to the base’s release.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
