The Pentagon has identified the remains from a remote Sierra Nevada glacier as Leo A. Mustonen of Brainerd, Minn. Mustonen was the pilot of an Army Air Forces AT-7 training flight that crashed in 1942 in Kings Canyon National Park. A hiker spotted aircraft wreckage a few years later, but it would be October 2005 before someone spotted a body in the ice. Three other airmen also were killed in the flight.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
