Winning the 2007 Commander in Chief’s Annual Award for Installation Excellence within the Air Force is Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. The home of the 366th Fighter Wing Gunfighters is one of five DOD installations to receive the award, which evaluates outstanding and innovative approaches toward facility maintenance and operations. A base release notes that the 366th rolled out several initiatives for a six-person inspection team, including its $60 million Singapore Air Force facility beddown plan and installation of a $1.3 million aircraft hangar high-expansion foam system to increase aircraft protection.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
