Among the special teams of Air Force Security Forces are airmen who make up Fly Away Security Teams. Air Mobility Command completed training its first FAST airmen in January of this year. Those now deployed to Bagram AB, Afghanistan, support aircrews and aircraft that fly around the theater, whether they are transporting foreign nationals or US personnel or cargo to forward operating locations. Bagram has eight FAST members ready to fly every day to “detect, deter, and counter threats to US aircraft,” reports SSgt. Mike Andriacco.
As with previous stealth aircraft unveilings, the Air Force’s imagery of the F-47 Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter has been doctored to keep adversaries guessing about its true shaping and design philosophy.
