Final Environmental Assessment for Force Structure Changes at Langley Air Force Base, VA
Abstract
The Proposed Action would increase the number of F-22A aircraft currently assigned to Langley AFB by adding six additional F-22A aircraft to the 1st Fighter Wing (1 FW) at Langley AFB, VA, and also stand up a T-38A aircraft detachment of 14 training aircraft within the 1st Fighter Wing (1 FW) at Langley AFB, VA. Each F-22A fighter squadron (27 FS and 94 FS) would each receive three Primary Mission Aircraft Inventory (PMAI) F-22As and two Backup Aircraft Inventory (BAI) F-22As with a total of 94 enlisted manpower authorizations from other locations; this would increase the total number of F-22A aircraft from 36 to 46. The T-38A aircraft would provide Dissimilar Air Combat Training (DACT) for the F-22As in place of the F-15Cs. Currently projected are up to 14 x T-38 Primary Training Aircraft Inventory (PTAI) to support the two F-22A squadrons (27 FS and 94 FS), with 12-14 contract maintenance personnel. The intent is for the total number ofT-38s to operate at Langley AFB for approximately 8-10 years (FYll - FY21). There will be no new facilities required. Facilities have already been completed under the 2002 EIS. Facility support for the T-38 detachment requires no new facility construction; existing facilities would accommodate the additional aircraft and personnel.
