Fairchild still candidate for new planes
May 22, 2013 15:53 GMT

By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Officials in Washington are expressing disappointment that Fairchild Air Force base was not chosen as the first home of the Air Force's new aerial refueling tankers.

Members of the Kansas congressional delegation announced Wednesday that McConnell Air Force Base in Topeka, Kan., was chosen as the first base to receive the new Boeing-built KC-46A tankers.

Fairchild, the Spokane area's largest single employer, remains a candidate to receive new tankers later.

The new aircraft will replace the aging KC-135 fleet flown by crews, including those at Fairchild, for the past 50 years. The Air Force will base 36 of the new aircraft at McConnell starting in 2016.

Fairchild was finalist for the job, along with bases in North Dakota and Oklahoma.
