The Air Force’s support of earthquake relief operations continued Nov. 7, with two contracted AN-124 Condors flying in more than 296,000 pounds of water buffalos, a M105 trailer, cargo and utility trucks. As of Nov. 8, the Air Force has airlifted nearly seven million pounds of relief supplies to Pakistan.
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.
