Bush Visits Vance AFB: President Bush dropped in with Air Force One at Vance AFB, Okla., on May 6, enroute to Oklahoma State University to deliver a commencement address. At Vance, some 300 servicemembers, civilians, and family members came out to greet the Commander in Chief. Among the official greeters were Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin, and Enid, Okla., Mayor Ernie Currier.
The Pentagon is considering ditching the Air Force’s plan to buy the E-7 Wedgetail as it looks to outsource the airborne target-tracking mission to space, defense officials indicated this week.
