3:22Now Playing| Dave Deptula, a retired threestar general, has witnessed this "geriatric aviation force" firsthand. He earned his wings and flew an F15 for the first time in 1977. Thirty years later, another Deptula boarded the aircraft. His son flew the same F15 at Kadena Air Force Base in Japan.
The Wall Street Journal documented the amazing father-son story last fall to illustrate the challenges facing the aging force. The elder Deptula recounted for The Heritage Foundation how fiscal constraints have hampered the military's modernization and recapitalization strategy for the aging aviation force.
