Kyrgyzstan officials have decided that the Air Force KC-135 aircrew was at fault when a Kyrgyz Tu-154 airliner grazed the wing of the refueling aircraft in late September. The Russian News & Information Agency reports that the Kyrgyz government is seeking monetary damages from the US. There is no word yet from the Air Force about the results of a “joint” investigation.
Lt. Gen. Stephen L. Davis, the Department of the Air Force’s top internal watchdog, has been nominated to lead Air Force Global Strike Command, which oversees the service’s bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
