The so-called "solution" is to paint the fuel trucks a reflective color, and park them under sun shelters.

I guess the Air Force doesn't realize the trucks get their fuel from giant above-ground tanks....that sit in the sun.

So, we will see a program to put the main POL farm inside giant air-conditioned buildings. Legions of third-country nationals will chase the trucks down the flightline, carrying huge parasols.

Since this will add cost, the BX, Commissary, Day Care, and clinic will be sold to private corporations, just like base housing.

In a move of marketing genius, Lockheed will propose not SELLING the F-35s to the armed services, but leasing them. each pilot will be given a yearly budget for fuel, maintenance, and weapons. It will be his task to manage those funds and maintain mission-readiness. Those who excel will be promoted and do fly-bys at football games. Those who fail will conduct diversity training and get non-vol 365 rotations to the worst place we currently operate.

Borrowing from the Regionals, new Air Force pilots will have training contracts, and make $19k a year. There will be a flow-through program to the Australian Air Force.

Still short on cash, The Navy will allow corporate sponsorship of planes and pilots. Green or tan flight suits will be bright red, or heat reflective white, and make NASCAR look subdued.
