Air Force production cut shocks lawmakers
Two Democratic Senators called the Air Force’s 750 million dollar reduction in production plans shocking and dangerous. The plan cancels 1,000 aircraft orders while preserving a monthly rate of 1,000 planes and the 120 wing goal. Secretary Wilson and Acting Secretary Douglas defended the move as reallocating funds to needed future aircraft. More senators questioned whether new orders will meet overall air strength targets.
