The 23rd Fighter Group at Moody AFB, Ga., began flying A-10C aircraft yesterday, reports TSgt. Parker Gyokeres. For now Moody has just six of the digitally upgraded precision-attack C models, but another 44 will be arriving by spring 2008. Courtesy of BRAC 2005, the 23rd FG moved its A-10 operations to Moody from Pope AFB, N.C., and has picked up additional Hogs from Alaska units. Moody received its first of the upgraded C models early last month.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
