According to the Air Force’s new acting Secretary, Pete Geren, the service has no intention of pitting the F/A-22 against the F-35 in budget battles. Both new fighters are needed, Geren assured an audience in Dallas Friday. Lockheed Martin is producing both aircraft, but the seat of action for the Joint Strike Fighter is Fort Worth and for the Raptor Marietta, Ga. Let’s hope Geren wasn’t playing to a home audience.
The Space Force on April 15 released two highly anticipated future-casting documents that describe what the service expects the space environment will look like in the year 2040 and lay out the force structure it thinks it will need to operate in that environment.
