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.
Aircraft readiness will suffer if Congress does not approve some $1.5 billion worth of spare parts the Air Force requested in its annual Unfunded Priorities List, sent to Capitol Hill last week, Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin said.
