Capt Curtis,

Do you think the USAF is well positioned to meet future national mission objectives with the introduction of the F-35A and the resulting force structure?

Secondly, what's your opinion on the argument that the age of air power is over; negated by asymmetrical ground forces, reductions in military ground targets and unlikelihood of a peer-to-peer air engagements? I hear this all the time... seeing as how you flew in Libya, I'd love your opinion on it. Thanks! You rock!

Capt Curtis, Is it true that the USAF Thunderbirds fly the oldest F-16s in USAF inventory? If so, what Block and approximately how old are they? Thanks!

Major Jones,

Sir, I flew down to see your last show at Titusville, FL and it was absolutely awesome... thank you!

My question is: How do you see the USAF as remaining an independent service in the future? Competence in tactical air/ground missions and many facets of the "Strategic Pivot" to the Pacific are now shared with the USMC, USN and our Allies. With the growing threat of A2/AD, do you see Long Range Strike and Air Superiority missions with extremely high-cost and fewer assets in play being sufficient to maintain the USAF's independent role in our national strategy? What does the force of the future look like to you?

Thank you for kicking ass, sir.

Thank you, sir! I am just an enthusiast citizen who loves to watch you guys tearing holes in the sky! But with acquisition practices a mess, austere funding and ever-shifting national mission priorities; I guess you could just consider me "nervous" for the future of the USAF as relegated to Space, Cyber and Strategic Deterrence missions. I just hope there's room left for people who actually fly??? May be too much of a "white-scarf" philosophy but still... Thank you, sir!

Major Jensen,

As a USAF officer, how do you envision the future of the force?

I have to assume you worked out of Osan and provided ground support in Iraq... do you think the future of the force lies in manned tactical aviation or exotic ISR/Strike platforms? What's your opinion?

Thank you Major!
