WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Under the agreement, Boeing will install maintenance training systems at two Air Force bases, the release noted.
"Boeing will help the US Air Force train its KC-46 Pegasus maintenance personnel for the next seven years under a new $78 million contract, which includes contract options," the release stated on Friday.
The first of the two training systems, at McConnell Air Force Base, Wichita in the US state of Kansas, will be operational in the second quarter of 2018, Boeing noted.
The second will be established by 2021 at a location to be determined, the company added.
The KC-46 Pegasus is an in-flight refueling and strategic military transport aircraft developed by Boeing from its 767 jet.
