The Air Force’s leadership will convene one of its tri-annual summits later this week, this time at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Lt. Col. Adrian Craig, spokeswoman for Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, told the Daily Report yesterday that this “Corona Top” meeting is expected to be about a day and a half event where the leadership will discuss the state of the Air Force with senior USAF generals from the combatant commands and the service’s own major commands and plot the course of future changes.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
