Fifteen of the Air Force’s F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighters have returned from South Korea to Holloman AFB, N.M. The fighters and some 300 airmen from the 49th Fighter Wing at Holloman were stationed at Kunsan Air Base for the past four months to take part in terrain familiarization exercises as well as tactical proficiency training. The deployment has become an annual rotation for the Holloman force.
Air Force Gen. Jacqueline D. Van Ovost—a trailblazer and one of the first 10 women to reach a four-star rank across the U.S. military—retired and passed control of U.S. Transportation Command to Air Force Gen. Randall Reed on Oct. 4, finishing an eventful tenure at TRANSCOM.
