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.”
Air Force F-16 pilots are testing out new sensors that could help maximize their performance and avoid deadly accidents while flying fast fighter jets under heavy G-forces and stressful conditions.
