For the first time, members of the Philippine Air Force have been attending Airman Leadership School at Hickam AFB, Hawaii. It’s part of a training process to enable the PAF to create its own formal leadership program. Four instructor/students and the command sergeant majors of the PAF are currently attending an ALS class, with five additional students planned for the future. The new instructors will then write up a curriculum and establish a Philippine airman leadership school in Fiscal 2007. “ALS is helping us develop more and starting innovations that can be adjusted to our system,” said PAF Command Sgt. Maj. Cesar Soloria.
U.S. Air Force F-15C Eagles have roared out of Barnes Air National Guard Base, Mass., for the last time. The 104th Fighter Wing’s last three F-15Cs departed the base Oct. 23 for the “Boneyard” at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., ending the aircraft's era on the frontlines of homeland defense.
