Age is an Issue: Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, speaking at the Reuters Aerospace and Defense Summit in D.C. on Dec. 4, said the service has found new age-related issues with the oldest of the C-5 fleet, the A models, that make modernization questionable, reports Andrea Shalal-Esa with Reuters. Wynne said, "There comes a time when age does catch up with us." Currently the whole C-5 modernization effort is under review by DOD, following USAF's declaration of a Nunn-McCurdy breach. A "senior defense official" told Reuters that the review might extend into the New Year, given the complexity of the issue. A Boeing official earlier this week said he believes Congress will permit the Air Force to buy additional new C-17s in the 2008 defense war on terror supplemental.

12月6日美“空军杂志”网站：美空军部长韦恩在12月4日举行的路透航天防御峰会上表示，空军最老旧的C-5A运输机升级计划面临质疑。目前正在接受国防部审查的该型机升级计划，可能会因为机龄太老等问题而推迟到明年审议。此前，波音公司提出将自费维持C-17运输机的生产线，并希望国防部在2008年反恐战争经费补充中采购更多的C-17运输机。Age is an Issue: Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, speaking at the Reuters Aerospace and Defense Summit in D.C. on Dec. 4, said the service has found new age-related issues with the oldest of the C-5 fleet, the A models, that make modernization questionable, reports Andrea Shalal-Esa with Reuters.
