Eagles for Korea: US Air Force airmen are helping in the delivery of two new F-15K Eagles to Seoul, South Korea. Theses are the first two of 40 K model F-15s South Korea purchased from Boeing for $4.2 billion. Boeing and South Korea Air Force pilots are flying the fighters to Seoul, aided by aerial refuelings from the Hawaii Air National Guard KC-135s. The fighters will stop at Andersen AFB, Guam, before flying on to Seoul.
A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
