US Air Force, WASHINGTON: Modernizing and investing in the aircraft inventory and technology is an ongoing process that will never go away, said the Air Force's senior-most civilian and military leaders.
During the Air Force Association's 2005 Air and Space Conference and Technology Exposition here Sept. 12, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley and acting Secretary of the Air Force Pete Geren discussed recapitalization of the Air Force aircraft inventory.
Mr. Geren said the process of recapitalization and modernization can never be finished.
“Even if we buy everything we are planning to buy over the next five years, we will still have the oldest (inventory) in the history of the Air Force,” he said. “If you fast forward 20 years from now, the CSAF and the SECAF will still be working that problem.
