This from the CBO:
http://www.cbo.gov/showdoc.cfm?index=4230&sequence=0
""Section 911 also would require the Air Force to maintain 46 fighter
squadrons in its active force. Currently, the Air Force has 45 active
squadrons. It plans to add one squadron of F/A-22 aircraft in 2004 and
retire one squadron of A-10 aircraft, sustaining a force of 45 squadrons.
CBO assumes that the Air Force would retain the A-10 squadron over the
2004-2008 period to meet the bill's requirement to maintain 46 active
squadrons. CBO estimates that the cost to keep the A-10 squadron in active
service would be about $100 million over the 2004-2008 period."'
Other documents Ive come accross also shows that 46 active squadrons have been the OOB since 1997.
But I come with 47.
Exclusive of training squadrons.
Which unit do I have listed erroneously?
