'Today's Air Force' features Air Force transformation

  • Published
This week's edition of "Today's Air Force" highlights how the Air Force continues transforming to meet the needs of the 21st Century. 

The transformation begins with Airmen taking advantage of professional education, training and networking opportunities.

Also featured is a segment on how Airmen are blending legacy systems with today's most advanced weapon systems. While tried and true systems get needed upgrades, new unmanned aircraft are used to locate and defeat emerging threats.

The third segment honors Airmen of the past.
