Triumph Group (NYSE:TGI) marked the shipment of the 100th
KC-10 Aerial Refueling Boom in support of the U.S. Air Force
maintenance program, on August 26. Triumph Group’s Product Support
business, based out of Wellington, Kansas, has provided repair and
overhaul service on the KC-10 boom since the program’s inception in
1999.
“We are proud of our long history serving the U.S. Air Force
KC-10 aircraft program and extremely pleased to celebrate this
milestone with one of our most valued patrons,” said Mike Abram,
executive vice president of Triumph Product Support. “We also look
forward to partnering, in the not too distant future, with L3
Communications in support of the KC-10 CLS program.”
Triumph Group was recently identified as a key teammate by L3
when the company was selected to provide full contractor logistic
support for the KC-10. As a supporting partner, Triumph will
continue to provide repair and overhaul services for the KC-10 boom
and additional components, as awarded.
“The maintenance support Triumph provides on the KC-10 program
is strong and consistent,” said Col. Mark Mocio, Legacy Tanker
division commander and KC-135 program manager. “This milestone
delivery demonstrates the significance of the partnership they have
had with the U.S. Air Force for more than 50 years. We look forward
to continuing that relationship as part of the KC-10 CLS
program.”
Triumph’s Wellington site has supported the U.S. Air Force since
1965, providing maintenance, overhaul and repair services on
multiple defense programs including the KC -135 Stratotanker
program, which recently celebrated its 60th anniversary.
