USAF retires the last two C-141 Starlifters in Active duty service. The C-141 first flew on Dec. 17, 1963. Air Force Reserve Command expects to continue to fly its 20 remaining C-141Cs, which have upgraded avionics, through 2006.
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.
