12/7/2007 - KUNSAN AIR BASE, South Korea (AFPN) -- Airmen
from the 8th Maintenance Squadron corrosion shop recently completed
painting an arctic scheme on one of their F-16 Fighting Falcons -- a
first for Kunsan and soon Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska.
In October, Kunsan received its initial group of Block 40 F-16 aircraft
under the Common Configuration Implementation Program from Eielson Air
Force Base, Alaska. In return, Eielson would be getting Kunsan's Block
30 F-16s to be used as aggressor aircraft for its training exercises.
To help assist Eielson with this swap, Airmen from the 8th MXS
corrosion shop accepted the task of painting F-16 planes with an arctic
scheme.

11/30/2007 - DAYTON, Ohio (AFPN) -- On
Nov. 27, 1957, at 6:59 a.m., six USAF pilots took off from Los Angeles
and began what would be called Operation Sun Run. On that day, three
new transcontinental speed records were established, and the speed and
range of the McDonnell RF-101C was showcased. Years later, this mission
would be remembered not as a significant contribution to war, but as a
significant peacetime achievement for a growing Air Force.

WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Nov. 16, 2007) - The Army's latest
version of the Black Hawk helicopter, the UH-60M, paid a call on the
Pentagon Wednesday to show off its various upgraded technical

While this was the "M" model's maiden flight into the Washington area,
the newest version was introduced to the Army in late October when a
single bird flew from the Sikorsky factory in Connecticut directly to
Fort Campbell, Ky., for a preview to the 30 Black Hawks which begin
delivery to the 159th Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division
