Airmen currently deployed to Southwest Asia from Dyess AFB, Tex., to build bombs for the B-1Bs supporting the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing have produced nearly 400 munitions over the past couple of weeks, reports Capt. Teresa Sullivan. They work 24/7 in 12- to 15-hour shifts building, testing, inspecting, storing, and maintaining all the munitions needed by these strike aircraft in the combat theater. And, they’re doing it in sweltering hear, from 125-degree days to 90-degree nights.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
