Us Air Force

Lawyers for Mikayla Hayes argued that she was still on active duty as she returned home from the air base, and should therefore face a US military court.

RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk is home to the 100th Refuelling Wing that keeps planes in the air across Europe and Africa.

The US Air Force wants Mikayla Hayes to face a US military court rather than a British court, and argues she was on duty at the time of the fatal collision.
