The Air Force has spent the past 20 years engaged in multiple combat operations and is utilizing an aircraft fleet that averages nearly a quarter of a century in age with some planes in the inventory dating back to the 1950s. The current fleet, whose planes are more than 23 years old on average, is the oldest in USAF history. Aging legacy aircraft will likely drive sustainment costs ever higher in the coming years; improved aircraft parts forecasting, increased aircraft maintenance science and technology funding, and incorporating commercial airline maintenance practices are strategies the Air Force should examine in sustaining an aging fleet.
