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.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
