The Phoenix Rises

Col Randy Davis, USAF, LTC Bill Phillips, USA, and Lt Col Bud Vazquez, USAF

This article tells the story of the remarkable turnaround of the U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III airlifter program in the early 1990s. Despite problems that almost led to the cancellation of the program, the authors, from a list of lessons learned, ultimately attribute timely and open communication and cooperation between the Pentagon, program offices, and the defense contractor for the astonishing turnaround of the program.
