Edwards, JBLM combine efforts for KC-46 first flight, future test support
A 912th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron maintainer removes the tail stand off a KC-135 Stratotanker on Sept. 24 at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., in order to support the KC-46 Pegasus first flight. The KC-135 is attached to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., but will intermittently fly out of JBLM in order to support KC-46 flight test operations throughout the next 11 to 15 months.
