Light Attack

The new commander of SOCOM wants light attack aircraft to back his forces on the ground.

The Air Force will buy up to three each of Textron Aviation's AT-6 Wolverine and Sierra Nevada/Embraer's A-29 Super Tucano.

The Air Force was supposed to publish a final RFP in December for a light attack aircraft, but it never happened.

The Air Force is seeking to increase its capabilities with 74 additional squadrons over the next decade.

The U.S. Air Force has taken the initial steps to buy commercial, off-the-shelf aircraft for its light attack fleet.

The Air Force canceled the remaining flying portions of its light attack experiment at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico.

The U.S. Air Force's light attack demo remains in a holding pattern following the A-29 crash at Holloman AFB last week.

Lt. Christopher Carey Short was piloting the A-29 when it crashed over the Red Rio Bombing Range.

Flights in support of the experiment were called off for the day following the crash.

The Air Force's top enlisted leader said some airmen go to extremes, even starving themselves, to pass the tape test.

Starting next week, commanders will be expected to stay in shape, according to Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein.

Toxic leadership appears to contribute to "hopelessness," according to the top enlisted person and chief of staff.

The Marine Corps is considering using a massive drone not unlike its MV-22B Osprey to protect ships.

How the card was discovered after 50 years missing is an unlikely story of serendipity.
