(btw - $100 million? feh - you don't want to know the cost to upgrade
the USAF fleet...)

The Air Force has the necessary eqippage in some of the new stuff. I
doubt they will be doing much retrofitting of avionics except for
special-use aircraft.


Most of the USAF aircraft aren't new, and the USAF is doing a lot of
upgrades to a lot of aircraft, not just special-use.

I don't know much about what the USAF is doing other than a Lt COL who
is at their instrument procedures group told me that performance-based
RNP procedures would be limited to a small segment of USAF aircraft. I
don't know what he really meant by that.
