Flake drops A-10 bomb on constituents Senator Jeff Flake is making the customary rounds of Arizona during D.C.’s summer recess, and on a rare trip to Southern Arizona, he dropped a bomb on the residents of the 6th poorest metropolitan area in the country. In one of the few free opportunities to hear from their senator, Tucsonans were told that the Air Force plans to phase out the A-10, which will result in an estimated loss of 5,000 jobs. In one of the few opportunities to hear from the Senator without paying a cover charge, Flake confirmed for listeners of the James T. Harris radio show that one of their worst fears was true: the A-10 has been marked for elimination in the next 1 to 2 years. Flake told Harris’ audience that the plan to eliminate the A-10 and the KC-10, an air refueling tanker and cargo aircraft, have been in the works for a while. This claim left many residents wondering why the Senator had not given them a heads up and an opportunity to defend the A-10 critical mission set.

B1 Bomber crashes in Southeast Montana BROADUS - A B-1 bomber crashed Monday morning in a remote area of southeast Montana, but officials say the crew of four escaped with minor injuries. A spokesperson with Ellsworth Air Force Base in Rapid City says the plane went down near Broadus. Residents of Ekalaka, tell MTN that the emergency sirens in that town were activated between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. to alert the volunteer fire department of that crash. The Carter County Sheriff's Office has also confirmed that it responded to the crash as well. Ekalaka residents tell MTN that neighboring ranchers reported seeing several parachutes deploy from the plane and an explosion before the plane crashed. Since the crash, ranchers have told residents that there has been a plume of smoke rising into the sky. Ellsworth AFB is the home of the 28th Bomb Wing, and they maintain and fly 28 B-1 bombers. The base is also home to two of the U.S. Air Force's three B-1 combat squadrons. Base officials say the crash happened during a routine training mission, and that two pilots and two weapon systems officers were on board. All four of the crew members ejected from the plane survived the crash. "We are actively working to ensure the safety of the crew members and have sent first responders to secure the scene and work closely with local authorities at the crash site," said Col. Kevin Kennedy, 28th Bomb Wing commander. "Right now all of our thoughts and prayers are with the crews and their families." Ellsworth Air Force Base said the USAF will be conducting an investigation to determine a cause of the crash. www.kpax.com/news/b1-bomber-crashes-in-southeast-montana/?hpt=hp_t2#_

First 2013 RED FLAG-Alaska takes off EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- U.S. and coalition forces took flight Aug. 12, kicking off RED FLAG-Alaska 13-3. RF-A 13-3, which runs through Aug. 23, is a Pacific Air Forces-sponsored, Joint National Training Capability accredited exercise, enables participating units to sharpen their combat skills by flying simulated combat sorties in a realistic threat environment. The exercise provides unique opportunities to integrate various forces into joint, coalition and multilateral training from simulated forward operating bases. Additionally, the training allows participants to exchange tactics, techniques and procedures, as well as improve interoperability. While aircraft utilize thousands of square miles of training ground within Interior Alaska, maintenance and support personnel utilize the opportunity to train to sustain a large-force deployed operation. More than 60 aircraft and 2,600 personnel from the U.S. Air Force active duty, Reserve and Air National Guard, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea will participate in the two week-long tactical air combat exercises designed to replicate the stress warfighters face during their first 10 combat sorties of a conflict. RF-A 13-3, held at Eielson and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, is the first of this calendar year. www.eielson.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123359543
