Designations like B-17, P-51, and F-86 evolved from complex acronyms to simple purpose identifiers.

The service is planning to send its fleet of aging attack aircraft to the ‘boneyard’ within the next five years.

The service is seeking up to 1,000 retirees to return to active duty for a variety of special duty fields, including pilots and air traffic control.

The milestone puts the helicopter on track for delivery to the U.S. Air Force in 2024, the aircraft manufacturing giant said.

The air-to-air refueler was participating in the ongoing ‘Red Flag’ combat training exercise at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

The fighter jet experienced an ‘in-flight emergency’ over the West Sea, Air Force officials said.

A Republic of Singapore Air Force A330 conducted the air-to-air refueling as part of bilateral training.

The next-gen aerial refuelers are projected to start arriving in 2029.

The realistic combat training exercise sports nearly 2,000 participants from 30 U.S. and Allied units, including the Royal Australian Air Force.

During the exercise, a C-5M Super Galaxy topped off a KC-10 Extender with 23,500 pounds of fuel in about 30 minutes.
