F-15s leaving Elmendorf

These are the plans my husband works.We wont know if we will be pcsing or going to the f-22s...we will know hopefully by the end of the year who knows though.

However i think its a bad decision to get rid of the f-15s.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Elmendorf Air Force Base is losing its F-15 fleet.

Two dozen fighter jets are heading out of the base for good as the Air Force phases out the aging relics over the next year.

The Air Force says the change will free up money for other needed for other operations.

Col. Tom Bergeson says the decision will require some shuffling of about 500 personnel assigned to F-15 operations at Elmendorf.

Bergeson says many will be reassigned to other duties on base, such as F-22 Raptors, technologically advanced fighter jets.
