America’s Air Force is aging as you’ll see in this segment form America at Risk where Dave Deptula discusses the Military’s Aging Aviation Force. Deptula is a retired three-star general who has witnessed this “geriatric aviation force” firsthand. He earned his wings and flew an F-15 for the first time in 1977. Thirty years later his son flew the same F-15 at Kadena Air Force Base in Japan. Yeah, I’d say that’s an old aircraft but not quite as old as some of the Helicopters the Marines are still flying that were built during the Vietnam War.
