Are you talking about the E-10 (I think they are still calling it that) project to combine JSTARS and AWACS or were you being sacastic?

The E-10 program seems to have gone from the initial stages of proto-type development to pipe dream. I hear the current E-3s and E-8s are to be operational long into the future.

If the program is back on line I would be interested in it.

Regardless, this is a pretty big deal for my buddies still flying it.

I think he was being sarcastic, forgot the /s. Maybe talking about the Obama mothership?

The E-3 is getting old along with many other USAF aircraft. Somehow I doubt the current administration is going to do much about it. Trillions upon trillions for unions, green energy, etc., but only a pittance for national defense. That’s the Democrat way.

No, I was just being sarcastic, referring to that idiotic "one Air Force, one Network" IT policy they've been working on for the past ten years or so.
