According to a report by KATV, the Air Force hopes to secure a new developer “soon” to complete a “scaled-back” version of the housing project at Little Rock AFB, Ark. Little Rock is one of the bases that was under contract to American Eagle, which completed only 25 of 468 houses at the base. The developer has been trying to sell other Air Force base housing projects. Meanwhile, Congress has called for an investigation.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
