Air Force Global Strike Command announced that the MH-139 Grey Wolf has officially achieved Initial Operational Capability as of August 10, ushering in a new era of modernization for AFGSC’s nuclear security operations.
The B-21 stealth bomber will join an operational squadron next year, and a first flight scheduled for 2028 for the F-47 next-generation fighter.
In a historic milestone for future fifth- and sixth-generation fighter pilot production, two leaders from the 99th Flying Training Squadron have unlocked the unit's operational independence by becoming the first Air Education and Training Command pilots qualified on the T-7A Red Hawk.
The Air Force recently approved initial production of 14 T-7A aircraft, spares and trainers to get the next generation training capabilities into the hands of instructor pilots and students as quickly and safely as possible.
