The F-15C Eagle is now on flight lines for Operation Inherent Resolve missions, according to Air Combat Command.

The U.S. Air Force hopes to grow its force by 4,400, add a new fighter, and pump more money into weapon sustainment.

NATO's commander said Turkey shouldn't get F-35s if it also acquires a Russian missile system designed to shoot them down.
