RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --  Air Education and Training Command announced this afternoon that its T-38 aircraft are cleared to resume flying operations Wednesday.

Gen. William R. Looney III, AETC commander, lifted the stand down of the command's T-38s that had been in place since Friday, following a fatal crash Thursday at Sheppard AFB, Texas. The crash was the second in eight days involving a T-38.

Initial information indicates that the crashes were not related.

The command's T-38 fleet will return to normal operations over the next several days as individual aircraft are cleared for flight.
