The technicians at Warner Robins Air Logistics Center in Georgia once again have returned an Air Force Special Operations Command aircraft to the command ahead of time. The center repaired an MC-130H Combat Talon II, replacing its center wing box 53 days ahead of schedule, reports journalist Amanda Creel. Earlier this year the Robins team repaired the wing box on an AC-130U, returning it to AFSOC faster than expected. For this latest effort, the technicians converted a center wing box from an AC-130H to work on the MC-130.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
