The B-17 resorted by The Liberty Foundation in Miami has gone
down in a cornfield near Chicago. While all seven people on board
the aircraft survived, the rare warbird was lost due to a
post-crash fire.
Members of the 418th Flight Test Squadron C-130 Hercules Wheel
Brake System Improvement program at Edwards AFB are testing the
performance of carbon brakes and the new Mark IV Digital Antiskid
Control Unit for the aircraft to replace the C-130's legacy brake
system. Members of this test group said they know the lives of
current and future C-130 crewmembers depend on them doing their job
right.
