A KC-135 Stratotanker from Fairchild Air Force Base prepares to refuel a KC-46 Pegasus, with the KC-46 program's first test aircraft, a Boeing 767-2C (EMD-1). Air Force officials announced today Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, as the preferred alternative for the first reserve led KC-46A main operating base. The KC-46As are expected to begin arriving in 2019. The Air Force expects to base KC-46As at one formal training unit (FTU) and up to 10 main Active Duty, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve operating bases by 2028.
