Col. Robert Polumbo, vice commander of Air Force Reserve Command’s 482nd Fighter Wing at Homestead ARB, Fla., surpassed 4,000 flying hours in an F-16. SrA. Erik Hofmeyer reports that Polumbo, a 1984 Air Force Academy graduate, has been flying F-16s since 1985. He joined the Reserves after 14 years on active duty and kept right on flying the F-16. His hours include 100 in combat.
Maj. Gen. Larry Broadwell, deputy commander of the 16th Air Force, used an elaborate, sports-themed analogy for understanding information warfare at the AFA Warfare Symposium.
