Nine airmen from Soto Cano AB, Honduras, have deployed as part of Joint Task Force-Bravo supporting post-Hurricane Stan relief efforts in Guatemala. The JTF is based out of Guatemala City’s international airport. Pentagon officials say it has been flying relief operations since Oct. 7, delivering more than 425,000 pounds of food, medical supplies, and equipment.
The Air Force overall reduced its size by 120 aircraft in fiscal year 2021, but kept about the same number of fighter, bomber and attack aircraft, according to data supplied by the service. The F-35 fleet saw the biggest increase while the B-1B bomber fleet saw the largest decline.
