T-1, the first-built C-17A transport aircraft, will enter the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, next year, following its retirement. Sarah Swan, museum spokeswoman, confirmed this to the Daily Report. She noted that the aircraft’s “date of arrival [next year] has yet to be determined.” This C-17, serial number 87-0025, first flew in September 1991. The Air Force has used it as a test asset at Edwards AFB, Calif.
Lockheed Martin is offering a low-cost air vehicle it calls a flying "truck" that could be a cruise missile or sensor platform, intended to be the "low end" complement to the high-end JASSM/LRASM stealth cruise missiles, and help the Air Force achieve "affordable mass" in a future conflict..
