It all adds up to an airlift fleet that is too small to carry the load and personnel who cannot maintain a breakneck pace forever.

The civilan aircraft fleet is our strategic reserve.

They are utilized when additional lift capability is needed.

i wonder what ever happen to all those 747's etc in private airlines.. didn't a bunch of them get grounded .. don't we have surplus planes sitting out in the desert. Why can't the govt. lease planes and crews for transport?

is the article a play for more money for air force? Should we be looking at private corps to supply transportation.
