DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A general says automatic defense budget cuts will slow research and technology development and cancel some special night and weekend events at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Ohio.

Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger leads the Air Force Materiel Command from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. She tells the Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/Y3dvyz ) the cuts likely will delay aircraft replacement and modernization, halt most flight testing and create a backlog in maintenance operations.
