(7) The age of the remaining World War II vet-
erans and the gradual disappearance of any living 
memory of World War II and the Normandy land-
ings make it necessary to increase activities intended 
to pass on the history of these events, particularly 
to younger generations. 
(8) The young people of Normandy and the 
United States have displayed unprecedented commit-
ment to and involvement in celebrating the veterans 
of the Normandy landings and the freedom that they 
brought with them in 1944. 
(9) The significant material remains of the 
Normandy landing, such as shipwrecks and various 
items of military equipment found both on the Nor-
mandy beaches and at the bottom of the sea in 
French territorial waters, bear witness to the re-
markable material resources used by the Allied 
Armed Forces to execute the Normandy landings. 
(10) Five Normandy beaches and a number of 
sites on the Normandy coast, including Pointe du 
Hoc, were the scene of the Normandy landings, and 
constitute both now and for all time a unique piece 
of humanity’s world heritage, and a symbol of peace

TRAINING AIRCRAFT. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-

(1) The Air Force uses the T–1A aircraft to 
train Air Force pilots to operate tanker and trans-
port aircraft. 
(2) The Air Force is seeking a replacement air-
craft for the T–1A which is experiencing obsoles-
cence issues and high costs. 
(3) An effective way to mitigate the T–1A’s 
cost, obsolescence, and complexity issues until a per-
manent replacement aircraft enters service, is to uti-
lize contractor-owned, contractor-operated modern 
aircraft in the very light jet category. 
(4) Conducting very light jet training via a con-
tractor-owned, contractor-operated contract vehicle 
could provide increased flexibility and reduce unnec-
essary ownership costs.
