Members of the current Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) leadership team, along with past commanders and executives, unearthed items from a time capsule buried at the end of 1999 at the front of the AFLCMC headquarters building on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Then called the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC) with operations solely at Wright-Patt, directorates gathered items of importance – along with many predictions – for 25 years into the future. The capsule was unearthed at the end of May by members of the 88th Air Base Wing Civil Engineering Squadron. The unveiling event happened July 21, 2025.
Joining AFLCMC commander Lt. Gen. Donna Shipton were retired Center commanders Lt. Gen. C.D. Moore, Lt. Gen. Robert McMurry, and Lt. Gen. John Thompson. Former ASC executive director Dr. Vincent Russo was also in attendance. Russo was chosen to read his own predictions before the assembled audience. Rounding out other participants were Col. Dustin Richards, 88th ABW commander, Col. Joshua Payne, 88th ABW chaplain, CMSgt Timothy Weiser, AFLCMC command chief, Dennis D’Angelo, AFLCMC executive director and Tracy Patrick, Deputy PEO for the Fighters & Advanced Aircraft Directorate. AFLCMC historian Kevin Rusnak served as master of ceremonies. Rusnak’s mentor, retired Air Force Research Laboratory historian Dr. James Aldridge, also attended.
