Pease Airmen prepare for first KC-46 deployment

Airmen, families and state officials gathered inside Hangar 254, here, Sept. 8, for a ceremony honoring more than 180 Airmen who are set to deploy to support U.S. Central Command this fall. It will be the U.S. Air Force’s first operational deployment of the KC-46A Pegasus refueler to a combatant command and will be led by the New Hampshire National Guard’s 157th Air Refueling Wing, with support from the active duty’s 64th Air Refueling Squadron.
