The Louisiana Air National Guard’s 159th Fighter Wing has received a digital upgrade—with the arrival of F-15Cs handed down from the active duty Air Force, reports Associated Press news service. The C models are replacing analog-electronics A models. In addition to the newer F-15s, the NAS JRB New Orleans-based unit is adding a jet engine maintenance facility that will work on aircraft engines from across the southeastern US, a result of last year’s BRAC process.
The Space Force should take bold, decisive steps—and soon—to develop the capabilities and architecture needed to support more flexible, dynamic operations in orbit and counter Chinese aggression and technological progress, according to a new report from AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.
