More than 100 Air Force general officers met at the Doubletree Hotel in Omaha, Neb., last Friday to hear words direct from the newly minted Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. T. Michael Moseley. According to a USAF spokesman, the event was not a scheduled key leader session—known as Corona.
The Air Force wants to pump more than $12 billion over the next five years into its new affordable long-range missiles program and recently asked industry to push the flights of some of those munitions beyond 1,200 miles.
