Boeing issued a news release last week to ensure the Air Force knows the company plans to “compete aggressively” to be able to continue working KC-135 and KC-10 maintenance, repair, overhaul, and logistics in San Antonio, at the site of the old San Antonio Air Logistics Center. The news statement says Boeing is “taking nothing for granted,” even though it is the incumbent and performing “very well.”
Members of Congress from both parties expressed frustration and dismay over the abrupt and still-unexplained firing last month of Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh from his dual role as head of U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency.
