Scott Air Force Base

I had no idea that black bears had military aspirations, but that's apparently the case for one of these creatures currently touring Illinois as he reportedly tried to break into Scott Air Force Base.

After an air show performance last weekend in Rockford, Illinois, The United States Air Force Thunderbirds will thrill thousands of people this upcoming weekend at Scott Air Force Base in Belleville, Illinois.

A military trial is scheduled to begin for an Air Force technical sergeant who fled Illinois to avoid a trial on child sexual assault charges.
