The Air Force Academy plans to open a facility in Pueblo, Colo., joining forces with the Air Force’s Doss Aviation-run initial flight screening program. The academy conducts its own IFT at the school’s airfield but plans to use the Pueblo facility to handle its overflow.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
