McConnell AFB operates the largest KC-46A fleet in the United States Air Force. The delivery came as the USAF accelerates the transition from the legacy KC-135 Stratotanker fleet to the KC-46A, a program that has gained urgency following combat losses of tanker aircraft during Operation Epic Fury in the Middle East.
