The Air Force is shooting a new recruiting commercial, and it’s theme is “Do something amazing.” An advertising agency crew was at Charleston AFB, S.C., earlier this week to film airmen in action—a C-17 aircrew and aerial port specialists. The ads are meant to target 16 to 24 year olds and will air on TV and via the Web. Next film stop is Hurlburt Field, Fla.
A combined Navy and Air Force program is seeking to build a smaller version of a ubiquitous air-to-air missile that could give advanced aircraft, such as the Collaborative Combat Aircraft, greater magazine depth in a high-end fight.
