US Air Forces in Europe says that some 90 aircrew and support personnel from bases throughout Europe and the US will participate in this year’s Berlin International Air Show at the Berlin-Schonefeld Airport from May 16-21, 2006. USAF aircraft destined for the show include the A-10, B-1B, C-130J, C-17, F-15E, F-16CJ, and KC-135. Officials say that the C-17 may perform an aerial demonstration.
The KC-Z4, a blended wing body tanker concept being developed by startup JetZero, could fuel larger groups of aircraft at longer range to hold more targets at risk, company officials say.
