Sources tell IL that Reppert will retain Lynch and assistant Ian Farley for the 2021 season.

These planes are packed with sensors and their job is to orchestrate combat by detecting targets, tracking them and then assigning them to others to deal with. They have done this well for decades. But times change. With its big electronic signature, a
