The Capstone program is run by the National Defense University for newly promoted brigadier generals and rear admirals.

The 157th ARW says this is the first Capstone mission in over 20 years and the first for the KC-46.

  1. So you mean to tell me you put 16 brigadier generals and rear admirals on the same plane?

    Did you not learn from Poland, when a crash decapitated the country?
    Or when all the officials from a Australian company flew on the same plane in Africa?

    It is unlikely but it happened, seriously that is a lot of eggs one basket.
