More than 100 Air Force general officers met at the Doubletree Hotel in Omaha, Neb., last Friday to hear words direct from the newly minted Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. T. Michael Moseley. According to a USAF spokesman, the event was not a scheduled key leader session—known as Corona.
U.S. Air Force F-35s and F-22s regularly deploy deep into the Pacific region from Alaska, Utah, and Hawaii. In the future, though, the head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command would like to see the Air Force permanently station fifth-generation aircraft west of the international date line—closer to China.
