Col. Margaret Woodward, commander of 6th Air Mobility Wing, MacDill AFB, Fla., says she is canceling next spring’s air show for security reasons, though there is no specific threat. Woodward believes the wing’s operational tempo limits the resources the unit could tap to protect the 6,000-acre facility.
The incoming head of the 7th Air Force will face an intense mission while relying on 4th-generation fighters to stave off looming threats from North Korea and China.
