This dissertation's objective is to assist the Air Force (AF) in making difficult yet necessary choices regarding its aging fleets in order to fulfill national security objectives at lowest cost. Costs related to maintenance are a key component to the AF's decision-making process. In general, AF fleets are aging. This motivates the AF to want accurate maintenance cost forecasts. Forecasts of its current fleets and future replacement fleets are necessary. This dissertation will use commercial airline data to help the AF make these difficult choices.
