Two 15-second advertisements on the Air National Guard will play on the CBS “Super Billboard” in New York City’s Times Square through November. The commercials, which will air every hour, 18 hours a day, will direct people to a Web site outlining available jobs in the Air Guard, said Capt. Rondal Perry, chief of ANG’s marketing and advertising branch, in a National Guard Bureau release. “The CBS screen is strategically located at 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues and presents more than 1.5 million impressions daily in full motion and full color on 520 square feet of viewing space,” states the release.
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.
