Members of the New York Air National Guard’s 137th Airlift Squadron are among US military forces participating in New Horizons Honduras 2006. The Air Guardsmen flew a C-5 airlifter loaded with supplies to La Ceiba, Honduras, where US and Honduran military personnel will build four new schools and a maternity clinic.
The Air Force is planning to spend $2.19 billion over the next five years to acquire new C-37 jets for transporting military and civilian leaders. That’s on top of another $1.17 billion in projected funding for the VC-25B “Air Force One” replacement.
