Thank you. Live now to the Mitchell Institute for aerospace studies, group is holding a discussion on the future of air warfare. To top u. S. Air force officials, live coverage here on cspan2. We joined in progress. We have russias next generation, the as 500 to be capable of engaging targets as far away as charlotte and buffalo. As you can see the systems are being deployed worldwide and this trend will only continue as additional nations seek to neutralize our air power advantage. Variants of the same to invoice on the globe where our air forces operate. Moving onto airbase evince the production and proliferation of advanced fighters poses another escalate escalating challenge to our Legacy Fighter force and even our new fifthgeneration aircraft. One only has to look at trends and Aircraft Development over the past several decades to see where our legacy systems are being overtaken.

America. Yesterday, a panel of activeduty and retired u. S. Air force officials discussed the importance of maintaining air superiority on the global stage. Posted by the Mitchell Institute for aerospace studies, this is about an hour. Our fellow on panel, which we are fortunate to have with us. Deputy chief of staff for the airports for operations nolan and his partner, lieutenant mison. L dash ja a cat bit of introduction for you all. I think most of the people in this room understand that air superiority is a tenet of National Security operation. We cant succeed unless we have it. However, in terms of quantity of aircraft, the United States air force has been on a down slide for over 25 years now. The air force has 59 fewer fighter squadrons than it had during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, but we had 130 four squadrons at the time. Got 33 fewer people and fewer total aircraft. At the same time, the air force is operating a geriatric force that is becoming more so every day. Bomber

Police are telling us there are light poles, and piers that flew off of the beach on the road, so jan, widespread damage across the area, and at some point this morning clean up will begin.

This was a fast one, nate was in and out, so, even if it were a strong as those it was so fast, that it didnt do as much damage as some of the other storms, including maria and jose that we have seen so far t
