Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne and Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley penned a new letter to airmen last week, extolling the heritage of the service as it begins commemoration of its 60 anniversary, Sept. 18, 2007. They note that the Oct. 14 dedication of the “long overdue” Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Va., will honor air and space pioneers, the “700,000 airmen who serve today across our Total Force and the millions yet to serve.”
The Air Force wants more companies able to produce its new, multi-use, anti-radar missile that one expert says will prove vital in any future peer conflict and would be in high demand for the war in Iran if stocks were available now.
