Truyen Ngo, with the 76th Commodities Maintenance Group’s Numerical Control Machine Shop, fastens a keel beam into the SNK-80V CNC Milling Machine, to have specific joggles cut into it so the part will fit perfectly into its designated place on the KC-135 aircraft.

KC-135R Stratotanker, serial # 58-0099, lands at Tinker Air Force Base for induction into the periodic depot maintenance line with the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex March 9, 2017, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The aircraft is assigned to the 171st Air Refueling Wing, Pennsylvania Air National Guard. (U.S. Air Force photo/Greg L. Davis)

David Matthis, sheet metal mechanic with the 564th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, shines a light on the area of the keel beam that was corroded on KC-135 Stratotankers. With an all-hands on deck approach, several groups within the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex were able to work together to find a solution and fix the important part quicker than expected.

McConnell’s first KC-46A Pegasus lands on the flightline Jan. 25, 2019, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas. The KC-46 will serve alongside the KC-135 Stratotanker at McConnell and supply critical aerial refueling, airlift and aeromedical evacuations at a moment’s notice for America’s military and allies.

Air Force Sustainment Center leadership will relocate its headquarters for one week to the two other major bases within AFSC throughout 2019 in an effort to immerse leadership in the local work force mission and communities around the command.
