The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins AFB, Ga., has moved its F-15 depot operations to a new location on the base. Maj. Gen. Tom Owen, ALC commander, marked the completion of the move last week, saying it would enable the 561st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron to accommodate more than $50 million in extra work each year, reports Air Force journalist Damian Housman. Owen also noted that moving the operation into an existing facility eliminated the need to spend some $17 million to build a new hangar.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
