US Air Forces in Europe says that some 90 aircrew and support personnel from bases throughout Europe and the US will participate in this year’s Berlin International Air Show at the Berlin-Schonefeld Airport from May 16-21, 2006. USAF aircraft destined for the show include the A-10, B-1B, C-130J, C-17, F-15E, F-16CJ, and KC-135. Officials say that the C-17 may perform an aerial demonstration.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
