Riding With the Prez:
For some airmen at Travis AFB, Calif., being members of the base’s mountain bike club brought an unexpected dividend—cycling with the President. The White House asked for four riders from the Travis Hawks to join President Bush on a bike ride through the Napa Valley. Capt. James Weinstein, founder of the club, said the White House staffer asked him to select “advanced” riders since the President is “aggressive biker.”
The Air Force on March 12 awarded contract modifications worth a combined $2.4 billion to Boeing to procure an undisclosed number of E-7 Wedgetail as part of the program's engineering and manufacturing development phase and continue work on the airborne battle management aircraft’s radar.
