The first two KC-46A Pegasus tankers were delivered from Paine Field, Everett, CA to McConnell AFB, Wichita, KS today 25th January 2019.
They were:- 15-46009 [AE574F] as "MDUSA01" 17-46031 [AE5E0C] as "MDUSA02"
Two more are expected next week and more will follow at approx. 2-week intervals, though some are expected to go to the training wing at Altus AFB, OK.
New callsign for me, makes a change from "TURBO", "KANZA", "SNAP".

"PACK01" 17-46029 was delivered to 133ARS/157ARW/New Hampshire ANG at Pease ANGB, NH at just before 20.50BST this evening, thus making them the first ANG unit to receive the type.
It would appear that an expected second one did not make the journey today.
Deliveries are expected to be three planes per month to reach their complement of 12 aircraft. |
