Maj Gen Mark Weatherington, Commander, Eighth Air Force and Joint-Global Strike Operations Center, joins us on Aerospace Nation. As the Air Force continues to posture for an era of renewed great power competition, the imperative for both conventional and nuclear global strike capabilities is clear. As Commander of “The Mighty Eighth” Air Force and the Joint-Global Strike Operations Center, Maj Gen Weatherington provides a critical perspective on how the highly anticipated B-21 Raider will expand global strike capabilities, the current readiness of the Air Force’s bomber fleet, and the future of the bomber force.
