NG penzionise svoje RC-26...samo njihovi se penzionisu


Citat:CNN reporting that the RC-26, based on the Fairchild Metroliner, will be retired.
ANG units were instructed in NOV to get them to the boneyard "by the end of the year".
Used extensively in anti-narcotics role.
Navy and Army planes are unaffected. Just the AF budget cut them.

US Air Force plans to request 72 fighters every year
Citat:For the first time in recent history, the U.S. Air Force this year directly asked Congress for the full complement of 72 fighters it says it needs in its next budget request. And the general in charge of planning for the service’s future said Thursday this won’t be the last time.
Top Air Force leaders have said for years that it needs to buy at least 72 new fighters each year to both modernize its fighter fleet and lower the age of the average plane. If it doesn’t bring on that many new fighters annually, generals warn, the service won’t have enough new aircraft to replace aging and retiring fighters, such as the F-15C.
Citat:The fiscal 2024 budget proposal released in March broke that trend by directly asking for money to buy 48 new F-35As and 24 F-15EX Eagle IIs.

"Crveni repovi" se oprostili od F-16...prelaze na F-35
187th Fighter Wing bids farewell to F-16 jets
https://www.wsfa.com/2023/04/22/187th-fighter-wing-bids-farewell-f-16-jets/
Citat:The 100th fighter squadron of the 187th Fighter Wing bid farewell to its last F-16 Block 30 fighter jets on Apr. 21 with farewell flyaway ceremony held at Dannelly Field in Montgomery.
The ceremony paid tribute to the service and dedication of the airmen and technical crew who flew the F-16s, which logged a total of 80,000 flight hours on missions across the globe, from Iraq to Afghanistan, Korea to Kuwait, Qatar to Romania, and Ukraine. As the 187th Fighter Wing prepares to transition to the F-35A Lightning II, the departure of the F-16s marks the end of a remarkable 35-year legacy, during which the Alabama National Guard unit flew the F-16s out of Dannelly Field longer than any other jet in its history combined. The F-16s will now be moved to other bases across the country for continued use, while the 187th Fighter Wing looks forward to welcoming the new era with the arrival of the F-35s later this year.
