Some of the most capable aircraft ever flown by the U.S. military came with an unspoken cost: extraordinary logistical demands. From stealth bombers that required climate-controlled hangars to transports that consumed enormous maintenance hours,

Military facilities in Puerto Rico are being revived following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan's leader, leaving residents wondering whether it's short-lived and what will come next.
