Latest 'Today's Air Force' addresses modernization

7/16/2007 - SAN ANTONIO (AFNEWS) -- This week's edition of "Today's Air Force" highlights Air Force initiatives to modernize the force through the introduction of new aircraft and the retirement of designated older models like the F-117 Nighthawk, the world's first stealth aircraft.

And learn how Hollywood producers work to maintain a relationship with the Air Force. Nowhere is that relationship more evident than on the set of Stargate SG-1, and the newly released movie, Transformers. One of the ways Air Force officials build a strong relationship with Hollywood is by allowing movie directors to shoot on their bases.

Plus celebrate an Air Force Week at St Louis, Mo., where the service was highlighted during various events including an enlistment ceremony of 40 men and women at a Cardinals baseball game. St Louis is one of six cities selected to celebrate the Air Force's 60th anniversary. Each Air Force Week is designed to inform and educate the public about the important roles the Air Force plays in support of the nation's defense. Next stop . . . . New England! Stay tuned for dates.

The long-format, weekly news show tells Air Force stories in more depth. The program is made up of three segments and each runs approximately eight minutes. Although each can stand alone, they are related to form a seamless program.

"Today's Air Force" can be seen every day on The Pentagon Channel and via American Forces Radio and Television Service stations all around the world or subscribe to receive the Air Force feed via podcast at:
