Air Force Materiel Command workers at Warner-Robins Air Logistics Center, Robins AFB, Ga., have been busy, working more than 4,000 hours since July to produce 112 replacement wiring harnesses for the F-15 Eagle. Six technicians from the ALC’s 402nd Electronics Maintenance Group made the harnesses, which provide all the secondary power for all the pertinent systems on the aircraft. The new harnesses are going to save the Air Force thousands of dollars in depot maintenance, say service officials.
Boeing received a $2.47 billion Air Force contract Nov. 25 for 15 more KC-46s, bringing to 183 the number of Pegasus tankers on contract to all customers, foreign and domestic. The new contract—for Lot 12 of the initially planned KC-46 buy—is to be completed by 2029.
