The Space and Missile Systems Center in Los Angeles will unveil a 9-foot bronze statue of the late Gen. Bernard Schriever on Nov. 15 in the Schriever Space Complex Courtyard. The Air Force Association’s Schriever Chapter commissioned the statue and donated it to SMC, which just last year dedicated the new Schriever complex.
The Air Force is planning to spend $2.19 billion over the next five years to acquire new C-37 jets for transporting military and civilian leaders. That’s on top of another $1.17 billion in projected funding for the VC-25B “Air Force One” replacement.
