Washington—Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris and Congressman John Garamendi (all D-Calif.) today applauded the Air Force’s decision to base the new KC-46A Pegasus refueling tanker at Travis Air Force Base in Solano County:

“The Air Force’s decision to bring 24 new KC-46A Pegasus refueling tankers to Travis Air Force Base is welcome news. As the Gateway to the Pacific, Travis already has a long history of providing refueling missions to support operations around the globe.
