This afternoon I got a call from the Air Force to relay their final decision to base the new KC-46A tankers at McConnell Air Force Base following a lengthy environmental impact review. There is no longer any question – McConnell Air Force Base is and will continue to be the nation’s super tanker base. The upcoming arrival of the new KC-46A tanker fleet at McConnell translates into an economic boost for the community, which will endure for years to come as each phase of preparation is completed. I am grateful the efforts to ensure this outcome were successful and that the Air Force truly understands the value of air mobility assets in Kansas. I will continue to work with Air Force leadership to make certain the KC-46A delivery process runs as smoothly as possible.
