The AF really, really wants a new bomber. MT: @usairforce: USAF youngest B-52, Tail No. 1040, turns 50 this year! http://t.co/8xfM7Gsn”

When Santa requires fixed wing cargo support, sometimes he uses a @usairforce C-130 Herc: http://t.co/Mj9tkj8d

Air power was never the same RT: @usairforce: Today in 1988, #USAF reveals the F-117A Stealth fighter to the public for the first time.

YN2 Gauthier -- the Web's famous Battle Yeoman -- says Twitter users in Libya are Tweeting Adm. Stavridis with grid coordinates: "Bomb here"

Panetta: Examples of actions services could take to lessen seq harm is freeze civilian hiring and delay contract awards. @charlie_simpson

So even if AF executes perfectly & hits goal, flying 1 F-35A for 1 hour will cost $7,866 more than the average US citizen makes in a year

Navy to Congress: Suck a lemon! Military Sealift Command's oiler USNS Henry J Kaiser began loading 900,000 gallons of bio-diesel Wednesday

Durbin: "The cost overruns on the F-35 are equal to 12 Solyndras ... you don't hear many press conferences on that."

Analysis: CNO's emphasis on strategic choke points as main plank of Navy's way forward is effectively a shift from zone to man coverage.

Loren Thompson to Army: Drop dead. http://t.co/1QlthEzv. Pure pwnage.

McKeon: After 9/11, we all thought there'd be more major attacks. No one thought there wouldn't be. That's largely thanks to our military

Cost of U.S. intervention in Libya? About the same as 3 days of war in Afghanistan - http://t.co/5lSoJxX
