The Mitchell Institute is pleased to release episode 16 of its Aerospace Advantage podcast: 21st Century Long Range Strike: A Conversation with General Tim Ray, Global Strike Command.

Learn what it takes to sustain these incredibly complex operations, modernize the aircraft that make it possible, and innovate operational concepts that speak to tomorrow’s challenges through a conversation with the Air Force’s top leader in charge of this key mission.
