U.S. Air Force Capt. Melanie “MACH” Kluesner became the new certified pilot and commander of the F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team earlier this month after training at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. |

Salt Lake City lawyer Brent Hatch was notified over the weekend that his campaign to replace Sen. Mitt Romney for the U.S. Senate seat held by his father for 42 years had attracted the biggest investment from a Political Action Committee of any candidate so far this election cycle. The Virginia-based Conservative Outsider PAC committed $1.8 million to purchase television and radio advertisements for Hatch over the next month, giving him a boost among the crowded field of Senate hopefuls vying for donors’ dollars and PAC endorsements.
