Hungary is now part of the NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft family, helping to operate the alliance’s fleet of ground radar aircraft. Through 2006, Hungarian Air Force personnel will take up ground and flying positions at the force command headquarters in Mons, Belgium, the fleet’s home in Germany and at the program’s management agency in the Netherlands.
The Air Force has finished resurrecting a B-1B Lancer, completing a yearslong process to transform a bomber that had been stored for parts in the Arizona desert into the new flagship of the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.
