According to a recent article in The News Journal, the Delaware Air National Guard “has flown into hot spots all over the world” during its 60-plus year history. The report offers a brief glimpse of the history of the Delaware Air Guard, from its fighter unit days to its present as the 166th Airlift Wing, which narrowly escaped the BRAC 2005 axe. Short, but nice piece.
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.
