The Air Force Weather Agency has reactivated the 1st Weather Group at Offutt AFB, Neb., to oversee operational weather squadrons at four stateside Air Force bases—Barksdale AFB, La., Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., Scott AFB, Ill., and Shaw AFB, S.C. The agency now comprises some 1,400 airmen operating around the world. Officials say the new structure aligns weather operations with the Air Force’s new warfighting headquarters construct.
As with previous stealth aircraft unveilings, the Air Force’s imagery of the F-47 Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter has been doctored to keep adversaries guessing about its true shaping and design philosophy.
