The Air Force office responsible for the acquisition of the VC-25B fleet (more commonly known as the next Air Force One) recently changed its name from the Presidential Airlift Recapitalization Directorate to the Presidential and Executive Airlift Directorate. The new Directorate comprises approximately 300 employees located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Tinker AFB and is responsible for the life cycle management of the VC-25B and the VC-25A (the current Air Force One) as well as the C-12, C-21, C-32, C-37, C-40, and E-4B.0 The directorate is also working to replace the E-4B National Airborne Operations Center, the Navy’s E-6B Airborne Command Post, and the C-32A executive aircraft.
