The Air Force apparently is gearing up to celebrate its 60th anniversary—which will be Sept. 18, 2007, the date the Air Force became a separate service. USAF leaders already have named Col. Benjamin J. Hulsey to serve as Director for the 60th Anniversary Task Force. Hulsey’s last post was as director of operations management at Air Mobility Command’s Tanker Airlift Control Center, Scott AFB, Ill.
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.
