摘要

As he was making his rounds on Capitol Hill following the release of the Pentagon's budget request for next year, Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley painted a stark and detailed picture of his fleet. The service, he told the Senate Armed Services Committee March 20, is in desperate need of modernized aircraft. The average age of the fighters is 22 years, while many Air Force cargo aircraft have been flying since the 1970s and many aerial refueling tankers date to the Eisenhower era. But like every military service, the Air Force is feeling a squeeze on its budgets, straining plans to buy new gear. The Defense Department is trimming its planned spending over the next decade by $487 billion—and the department may be forced to double that if a sharply divided Congress cannot come up with a deficit-reduction plan by January 2013.
