Defense News: U.S. Transportation Command is making preparations to push back the retirement of some KC-135 tankers due to delays in receiving the Air Force’s newest aerial refueling plane, the KC-46, the head of the command said Tuesday.
“Obviously it’s going to cost money, and when the money is put into the program that’s when we’ll know, but the intent is to retain 28 [KC-135] weapon systems beyond their currently scheduled retirement,” Gen. Stephen Lyons said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
