	Royal Air Force - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Air Force Board (AFB) is the management board of the RAF and consists of the Commanders-in-Chief of the Commands, together with several other high ranking officers.
		RAF squadrons are somewhat analogous to the regiments of the British army, in that they have histories and traditions going back to their formation, regardless of where they are currently based, which aircraft they are operating, etc. They can be awarded standards and battle honours for meritorious service.
		Aircraft in development or soon to be deployed include the Airbus A400M, of which 25 are to be used to replace the remaining Hercules C-130Ks.

	India plans air force boost among major challenges (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Indian Air Force (IAF) faces a crisis of depleting assets over the next decade, threatening its expanding operational challenges that include conventional and nuclear warfare, regional power projection and energy security and domestic counter-insurgency operations.
		To transform itself from a tactical, status-quo force into a strategic one, to meet extended challenges, the IAF plans by 2025 to operate 35 combat and some nine support squadrons, including one comprising six Ilyushin Il-78 air-to-air refuellers bought in 2001 for INR8 billion to provide its fighters with enhanced endurance.
		The air chief also insists that maintaining numerical superiority in fighters is a priority for the IAF since "enhanced technological capability can never adequately make up for numbers".
