Navy Capt. Curt Goldacker, commander of Training Air Wing One at NAS Meridian, Miss., wants to join forces with the Air Force at Columbus AFB, Miss., to train pilots. According to the Associated Press news service, Goldacker and Columbus officials are working on a dual training plan called the “Good Neighbor Project.” One thing they might do, he says, is exchange instructor pilots.
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.
