Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

Your right, I just saw 13 and was so aghast that they don't have a replacement for them that I thought it was a done deal, the 13 will be sent away by years end (barring unforseen circumstances)...
Thanks

Things are worse than DOD letting on.. McGuire was supposed to have their 24 P-46A's by end of this calendar year.
They have 13 so far and I don't see 11 new ones popping up before Christmas
Heck Travis AFB supposed to get their first KC-46A this July.. Maybe? They can throw all the money in the world at these programs
but reality is different...US Mil Procurement/recruiting is in sad shape now all across the board sad to say.
