Six F-16s and an untold number of airmen have traveled from the 51st Fighter Wing at Osan AB, South Korea, to Singapore to participate in the third installment of Commando Sling. The exercise with the Singapore Air Force will run through May 25.
The Air Force wants to pump more than $12 billion over the next five years into its new affordable long-range missiles program and recently asked industry to push the flights of some of those munitions beyond 1,200 miles.
