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.
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.
