the 20th chief of staff of the united states air force. sir, i want to start off. your job is to live 20 years in the future. to make decisions today that meaningfully shape the force of the future. what does the air force of the future need to look like? >> it needs to be flexible. it needs to be adaptive. it needs to be responsive. we need to be able to move information quickly. we need to be able to link data between multiple platforms, shooters and sensors. we need to be able to travel long distances. we need to be able to travel at altitudes where we operate relatively freely. above commercial traffic. above lower level threat systems and we need to be able to operate in both contested and uncontested environments. >> again you know you mentioned contested environments. and earlier we mentioned the pivot. let's talk about the asia pivot. what does that mean more broadly? does it mean that there needs to be fundamental cultural changes within the air force? to deal with the theater that's not only vast, it's culturally more complex? it's linguistically more comp

to edwards air force base. the reason they are doing this fly over is because they are paying tribute. this is a state-wide celebration, to go by the desert communities that over the years supported the shuttle program by not only building the parts but supporting edwards air force base and loading this thing on to 747's many times over the years to be flown back to florida because of adverse weather conditions forcing a land at edwards base, it is 160,000 pounds on top of the jet. they were planning to make sure they had the precise amount of fuel in the 747 so it did not land too heavily. we have done this many times. they want to make sure with 167,000 pounds on ton you bun as much fuel as you can. the worry was you they might have had too little fuel for the ten-minute fly over of the desert community so they were going to check the fuel and maybe land 10 or 15 minutes ago. apparently they had the fuel because they have been flying an extra 15 minutes and the crews on the ground at edwards air force base sa

those challenges in itself will take four years. >> what -- the service has blocked the air force's proposed budget cuts what's the way around that? >> i think it's a compromise and reality that the guard and reserve for example in this case are major force that we in the united states need and serve a great purpose that's not -- it shouldn't be a well to make up for budgetary limitations where you decrease the guard reserve at the expense of our overall capability to project force. so, i think there's some personality issues that will come through and i think obviously with congress you have work to do. and mark has that personality to do that. >> what are, you discussed the importance of recap tal lizing the fighter fleet -- recap talizing the fighter free the there's tanker modernization is another critical piece of this. as you stack them up what are the critical core programs that going into this fiscal austerity the air force has to be defend over the strategic long-term. >> it's the issue broadly in defense. when the air force specifically, you mentioned the tanker and the good news i

at every air force base along the route that air force one is going back to washington, fighter planes on the runway, their engines are running. the pilots are bolted into their seats and on the radar screens in the rate our shacks men are bent over radar screens watching to see if there is anything from air force one. in a thousand towns that air force one rolls across america flags are being lowered to half mast. church bells are starting to chime. new york city lights have been turned on in times square. one by one the lights go off. traffic. somebody stops his car. cars behind start to beat. someone comes out and asks -- he tells what happened. the news circulates from car to car so traffic -- a push cart can live. a hot dog pedlar sitting on a curb on broadway and someone gets out and says is it true? yes. he is dead. on fifth avenue, shop windows, salespeople come out in one store after another. take the mannequins out and put a photograph of president kennedy there. the church bells start to chime over the city. on the plane, there are three compartments. the first compartment s

a minute, are they going to do something to air force one?ou're like, what is going on here? this is crazy. >> did someone really break into andrews air force base and spray paint, or tag, the president's plane? >> i think people really want to believe it's true. >> the video hit the internet in 2006 and quickly became a sensation. >> the first reaction is always, is this real? and if this is real, how can this be real? and what does this mean for the security of our country maybe if this video is real? >> so did it really happen? was the video real or fake? >> it just doesn't pass the sniper test really is what it would be. if i were to run up to the air force one in all black with a backpack, i don't think i would survive that run. if i went and did that, i would be either arrested or shot or shot, then arrested. >> i think what we were trying to accomplish was a pop culture moment. >> marc ecko is a designer and a video game developer. the air force one caper was part of a viral marketing campaign for a game called "getting up." >> it was

air force learn from these tv producers? surface of things, but then when you step back and start to think of these reality shows that run continuously and then have to compress all of that quickly into a 30-minute episode, you start to get an idea of where the air force may be looking. hard to believe that tlc's "toddlers" -- ♪ >> -- courteney and chloe -- >> -- would have something to teach the air force. but the reality is it just might. >> they looked for espn, different networks, you name it, we are out there looking important whatever we can that can help us. >> you see, thousands of surveillance drones are bombarding the air force with data. so how much video do you see in a day? >> we have about 1600 hours worth of video we see a day. >> reporter: we got an exclusive look inside the intelligence center at langley air base where all that video pours in. there is a limit to how much a human being can watch. >> get up, unfocus your eyes. >> reporter: a report found the military could learn something from shows like "roc

the single naval battle concept fits very well inside the overall sea battle at the navy and the air force and they're working to develop. we think that that air-sea battle concept will provide us with the shaping operations that we need to be successful when the decision is made to project power ashore. so we want to make sure that the -- that we are as prepared as the navy and air force is to conduct such operations. the single battle concept talks to that continuation, if you will, as you shape operations, as you prepare the area in which you're going -- you tend to land in to be ready to receive the troops that go ashore and the threat has been mitigated. it also talks to the growth, if you will, to the coming together of smaller naval forces, smaller marine forces into larger forces that can have a diswissive -- decisive effect as they land. all of those we believe work into an overall concept that will allow the united states to retain its forcible entry capabilities and we also think that we integrate very well with the new ships, new doctrines and new systems coming up that will gi

at some point, the air force decided that hughes was a liability to his own company. >> right. >> andame and delivered an ultimatum. >> well, it was at the beverly hills hotel, and the secretary of the air force came and demanded to see howard hughes, who kept him waiting for an hour and a half. the secretary of the air force came in and said, "you either put control of this company under somebody that i'm going to tell you to hire, or we are removing every single contract from hughes aircraft." he gave him 90 days. >> so what happened? >> well, in exactly 90 days to the day, he created the howard hughes medical institute. >> this was one wily move. by giving the new institute 100% ownership of hughes aircraft, hughes got out from under the air force ultimatum and built a giant tax shelter for the company's profits. >> because it was a medical institute, it was all tax-free. it was a charity even though, of course, they did no research. >> they did no research? >> there were no personnel. the only trustee was howard hughes. >> this is how this medical institute started? >> right. >> w

air force leaders have consistently emphasized the importance of all encompassing air force wide effort which come and secretary panetta puts it, and all hands effort to successfully reach audit readiness by established deadlines. due to the commitment of leadership and to the dedicated professionals across the air force we have made significant progress to date. however, due to the enormous he and complexity of the task before us, we've you reaching the 2014 and 2017 calls as having moderate risk. before going into the challenges of reaching the goals, however, i want to share with this bit of the progress the air force has made toward audit readiness goals. over the last year we have received two independent opinions on previous assertions. in october, an independent public accounting firm issued an unqualified opinion on our fund balance with treasury reconciliation process. a process reconciling over 1.1 million transactions with an accuracy rate of 99.96%, exceeding the 98% recommended. engine, the dod ig issued an unqualified opinion on our aerial target drones and crew specials,

air force. space command general william shelton. few commanders are more operationally integral to all arms of u.s. warfighting than the air force space command that develops, launches, and operates the constellations of satellites and ground systems that make possible critical global services from gps, reconnaissance, missile warning, weather communications, or tracking orbiting spacecraft and debris. but developing satellites, launching them, and operating them for long periods of time is expensive business at a time when demand for space-based assets for everything from reconnaissance, surveillance communications, and moving massive amounts of data is soaring. so shelton is leading efforts to cut costs by increasingly leaning on commercial space suppliers. we caught up with general shelton at the air force association's annual conference near washington, d.c. i asked him how sequestration will impact the command so important to global capabilities. >> it's a very good question. we don't know. sequestration is clearly a meat ax ap

the article indicates that the air force decided in 2005 not to make affix to the f-22 oxygen system. do you know the modification of the f-22 air supply system was considered in 2005 to address the raptor cough system and why the modification was not made? >> sir, let me give you a partial answer here. first of all, the bleed air satisfies many customers. it satisfies the cooling requirements for the flight control computer. it satisfies the communication navigation cooling system. it satisfies the fire control system. it provides pressurization to the cabin and it also provides the pressurized air, added specific pressure and temperature to obogs which then delivers breathing air to the pilot. it is controlled by an air cycle machine which meters the amount of air necessary to the customers based on the pressurized air coming in as well as the temperature. if the temperature begins to creep up, which at high altitude, low power settings it does, it then begins to shut down the delivery of the air to some of those customers downrange and the obogs is one of them. there is a restricti
