President Barack Obama has nominated Gen. Paul Selva to be commander of US Transportation Command at Scott AFB, Ill., according to a Feb. 7 release. Selva, who has served as commander of Air Mobility Command since November 2012, will replace Gen. William Fraser, who is retiring in June. Selva is a command pilot with more than 3,100 hours in the C-5, C-17A, C-141B, KC-10, KC-135, and the T-37.
Lockheed Martin's suggestion to upgrade the F-35 with technologies developed for the F-47 Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter could come in a number of areas, several of which are already in hand.
