The Arkansas Air National Guard plans to dedicate one of its C-130 Hercules airlifters in honor of the City of Carlisle, Ark., in a ceremony at Little Rock Air Force Base on May 6. This is the 10th aircraft dedicated by the Arkansas ANG, according to the Carlisle Independent.
Fresh off the first combat deployment of its new EA-37B, the Air Force is nearly doubling the planned number of new electronic attack jets and projecting more than $3 billion in spending on the program in the next five years.
