The government has launched a 10-year, $500 million project to overhaul the aircraft maintenance and repair operations at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center, Tinker AFB. Okla. The first step focused on the F100 engine group. The first of its equipment was shifted to a temporary home, while its new home is transformed into a “Toyota-like” lean and flexible operation.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
