Air Force Update - Our Aging Fleet - Things are bound to get better...

Now we all know that our military is the strength of our nation and the United States Air Force is an integral part of our Department of Defense. Now most of you could not recall the year that some of our most modern aircraft were developed so I put it in the perspective of your favorite television shows.
With the new Obama administration I'm sure things are bound to get better for our aging fleet of aircraft...
