USAF transfers responsibility for Tyndall AFB, Fla., from Air Education and Training Command to Air Combat Command as part of its F-22 fleet reorganization. Tyndall, home to F-22 training, is to receive a combat-coded F-22 squadron from Holloman AFB, N.M.
The Air Force is spending heavily on F-22 improvements through the end of the decade, suggesting it may not retire the jet in 2030 as it previously planned. New sensors, fuel tanks, communications, and electronic warfare systems are among the upgrades that comprise the package.
