: An F-16C crashed Tuesday at Nellis AFB, Nev., about 20 miles west of the town of Caliente. The aircraft was participating in an air-to-air combat training mission, said Nellis officials. They said the pilot’s condition is unknown. The airplane went down about 5:30 p.m. local Nevada time.
The U.S. sent Air Force F-16s over central Syria in a show of force following the Dec. 13 killing of two U.S. Army Soldiers and one American civilian interpreter by a gunman linked to the Islamic State group.
