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 ramped up operations and maintenance spending to keep its F-35A fighters flying over the past six years, but readiness continues to lag behind goals, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
