Before the storm, the Air Force sent at least 33 of the fighters to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.Air Force officials have not disclosed the whereabouts of the remaining 22 ....
I heard from an Individual who works at the Pentagon that the SECAF would be asked for her resignation due to the loss of the F 22s and her lack of support for Space Command.
If any one planned to go to Florida Wing Encampment, it will probably be cancelled due to the location of the encampment.

If the bird can't fly, its not like you can take it out of the path of the hurricane."No, no, we got a one-time authorization from SECAF to fly these out..""But it doesn't have engines.""Glider tow?"Right.
I was informed during an SLS class a couple of weekends ago that AFRCC was temporarily relocated to an alternate site IVO Barksdale. Accurate? Doesn't affect me in any way. But curious nonetheless.
