Air Combat Command announced that an MQ-1 Predator unmanned aerial vehicle crashed at about 8:58 a.m. Sept. 11 at Holloman AFB, N.M. The UAV was assigned to the 432nd Wing headquartered at Creech AFB, Nev. It was engaged in a training mission. The ACC release said no one was injured and no private property was damaged. The accident is under investigation.
The Air Force is on track to reach its annual goal of graduating 1,500 new pilots that had proved elusive to this point, one year after the service launched a sweeping overhaul of its undergraduate pilot training program, Air Education and Training Command said Sept. 14.
