The 140th Wing at Buckley Space Force Base isn’t currently on the list to get new planes when its current jets are retired.

The U.S. Air Force is moving forward with its plan to phase out old aircraft and use the money to reinvest in new ones. But the states with retiring squadrons aren’t necessarily going to get those new fighter planes or, maybe, any.
Colorado’s 140th Wing, based out of Buckley Space Force Base, is on the divestment list, and along with about a dozen others, isn’t currently planned to get replacement aircraft.
