I bet pre-Biden may have something to do with the grounding - climate change or something as stupid.
I thank the Air Force was trying to get rid of it many years before it got decommissioned. I thank some high up Senator or Congressman was able to keep getting it back into the budget every time it got cut out of the Defense budget for many years to bring the pork back home to his district, I may be wrong about that though, but I won't surprised me though.
