Iowa Nat'l Guard Jets Leaving

The Air National Guard says its F-16 jets will start leaving Iowa this summer, a few at a time. They will all be gone by fall. The military's replacing them with unmanned aircraft that will be controlled remotely from Des Moines. KCCI reports only 30 of 900 jobs will be lost and the rest will shift toward the new unmanned aircraft. The UAV's won't be in Iowa, but will be controlled from here.
