A new software center slated for Robins AFB, Ga., which the Air Force declared vital but had left unfunded may come to fruition after all. The Macon Telegraph reports that the Air Force has asked Congress to let it reprogram money it won’t need after all for new dorms at Kunsan AB, South Korea. The service plans to construct a facility for software engineering labs and communications equipment that Robins would use to help develop software for new weapons systems, such as the F-22 and C-17.
The Air Force has finished resurrecting a B-1B Lancer, completing a yearslong process to transform a bomber that had been stored for parts in the Arizona desert into the new flagship of the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.
