The 157th Air Refueling Wing will spearhead the modernization of the KC-46A Pegasus after its selection as a combined test force in September at Pease Air National Base in Newington, N.H.

Backed by New Hampshire’s governor and congressional leadership, the first-ever KC-46A CTF will operate under the authority of the Air National Guard’s Air Force Reserve Test Center or AATC.
