Crew chiefs recover an E-8C Joint STARS returning from a mission in support of Exercise Iron Dagger at Robins Air Force Base, Ga., June 15, 2012. Current JSTARS aircraft are equipped on a Boeing 707 airframe, but the next era of JSTARS systems will be fitted onto a much smaller business class jet airframe. The JSTARS Recapitalization, a program office from Hanscom AFB, Mass., is leading the acquisition effort, which recently reached a Milestone A decision in December .
