US Air Force officials are working with counterparts in Singapore, who want to bring up to 10 F-15s of the Singapore Air Force to Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, to establish a training squadron. Any such addition to a US base requires an environmental impact study, which Maj. Damien Pickart, Mountain Home public affairs chief, says should be complete in March. Mountain Home is shedding its F-16s and F-15Cs and picking up F-15Es from Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, courtesy of BRAC 2005.
The B-52 bombers that flew off the coast of Venezuela on Oct. 15 were accompanied by Marine Corps F-35s as part of a so-called “Bomber Attack Demonstration,” according to new images and information from the Pentagon.
