There’s been no word from the new ruling junta in Thailand whether or not it wishes to continue cooperative exercises with the Air Force, PACAF commander Gen. Paul Hester said in an interview with Air Force Magazine. USAF conducts two major exercises with Thailand annually: Cobra Gold and Cope Tiger. He said he’d probably have some insight as to the future of the relationship later this fall, when exercise planning typically begins.
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.
