End of an era

Post by phantomfreak »

The last KC-135R Stratotanker flown by the Mississippi Air National Guard left today for the GATM mod and eventually to be gained by another unit. Been a great airplane and a great mission. :( Now we look forward to the C-27J Spartan Joint Cargo Aircraft.

It will be one of the last GATM mod birds. I took a tour of the GATM line on Wednesday at the Depot Facility at Kelly Field. From what they were tell us the program is 5 years ahead of schedule and way under budget. Of course you won't here that in the news...
