US Air Force Can’t Seem to Decide Which Programs It’s Funding and Pursuing

• The Undecided States Air Force (USAF) is organizing an industry day on April 2-3 at Hill AFB, UT, to discuss high resolution display systems for A-10 aircraft… that the service say they’re going to retire. But then the Air Force had a last-minute change of heart on the CRH announced right during the FY15 budget rollout, and there’s support for maintaining A-10s in the Senate. Caveat venditor: “the Government will not reimburse any costs associated with this Industry Day.”

• Congress is pushing back against the administration’s wobbly budget submission, in the words of congressman Peter Visclosky [D-IN] “I think it’s impossible for us to go to the floor with a placeholder for $79 billion.”
