Air Assets for Africa: Included in Air Force’s list of unfunded requirements in Fiscal 2009 are requests for one C-37B and one C-40 VIP transport aircraft that would be assigned to US Africa Command. The two aircraft, at approximately $82 million and $151.2 million each, respectively, would be used to support the combatant command staff and shuttle distinguished visitors, USAF says. The Air Force is resurrecting 17th Air Force to serve as the air component of the fledgling command, which stood up last September. Planning is still underway to determine what the air component will comprise. Beyond the command, these airlift requests would help the Air Force reach its objective numbers for its C-37 and C-40 fleets. Overall, USAF says it would like to field a total of 16 C-37s. It has nine C-37As already and one C-37B is on order and expected for delivery this year. The C-37B request for AFRICOM is actually part of a larger call for a total of six C37Bs ($491.6 million) in the unfunded requirements list that would bring the fleet size to 16. There are currently 10 C-40s in service. “The objective is to increase the inventory to 11 and provide AFRICOM with dedicated [operational support airlift],” the service writes in the documents accompanying the unfunded requirements list.
美空军计划为非洲司令部订购2架运输机
美“空军杂志”网站：美空军计划在2009财年无资金采购预算内为非洲司令部增加订购C-37B型和C-40 VIP型运输机各一架，以承担非洲司令部高级官员和贵宾的运输任务。这两架运输机分别价值8200万美元和1.512亿美元，不但可以为非洲司令部提供运输任务，也使美空军完成C-37B型和C-40型运输机机队建设目标。美空军计划装备16架C-37型机，其中已装备9架A型机，1架B型机已订购年内交付；计划装备11架C-40型机，其中已装备10架，另有1架即为非洲司令部订购的。Air Assets for Africa: Included in Air Force’s list of unfunded requirements in Fiscal 2009 are requests for one C-37B and one C-40 VIP transport aircraft that would be assigned to US Africa Command.
