Two USAF C-17 airlifters recently transported some 94,000 pounds of cargo to Kabul AB, Afghanistan, to supply the Afghan army. A joint effort by the Turkish Air Force and US airmen—active, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve Command—at Incirlik AB, Turkey, contributed to getting the six truckloads of supplies to Afghanistan forces, reports A1C Nathan Lipscomb.
Fresh off the first combat deployment of its new EA-37B, the Air Force is nearly doubling the planned number of new electronic attack jets and projecting more than $3 billion in spending on the program in the next five years.
