The Air Force said it is also preparing to award a contract to convert the Boeing 747-8 into a presidential transport plane.
Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman said Tuesday the Space Force has lost almost 14% of its civilian workforce in recent months. The Air Force conducts regular tests of its Minuteman III ICBMs, as it looks for ways to bring costs under control for the successor Sentinel missile. Sen. Tammy Duckworth blasted the Qatari-gifted plane as a security risk and a waste of taxpayer money. President Trump also announced he has appointed Gen. Michael Guetlein, the Space Force’s second in command, to oversee the effort. “This is unacceptable because there are so many real mass shootings going on in America each year,” one witness said. “You can’t be joking about it.” General Atomics said ground testing of its YFQ-42A began on May 7. The collaborative combat aircraft will fly alongside aircraft like F-35s and F-47s. The aviators received the awards 34 years after they kickstarted the allied air campaign of Operation Desert Storm. “President Trump appears to have been speculating out loud about future airplanes that, as far as I know, don’t exist," said former SECAF Frank Kendall. The Qatari gift amounts to a flying palace rather than a flying White House meant for vital work, argues former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall. By Frank Kendall
