Rep. Johnson says Ellsworth crash report 'must be a wake-up call'

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

A report from the Air Force Global Strike Command says weather wasn't the only factor in a B-1 crash at Ellsworth Air Force Base in January. It blamed human error and a "culture of noncompliance" at the base.

Learn more about the report's findings.

U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson says the details of the report alarmed him, but the fact that South Dakotans have access to the report is the American way.

He and SDPB's Lori Walsh discuss what's next for Ellsworth. Plus, we get an update on the 2024 Farm Bill.
