USAF Selects Preferred Alternative Base For C-27J Training Aircraft

Air Force Officials Announced That It Has Chosen Key Field Air National Guard Base

Air Force officials announced Dec. 8 that it has chosen Key Field Air National Guard Base, MS, as the preferred alternative base for the C-27J training aircraft. The secretary of the Air Force and the chief of staff of the Air Force considered the site survey results, mission-specific objective criteria, and other military judgment factors in making this preferred alternative decision.

"This base is the right location for these two C-27J training aircraft," said Kathleen Ferguson, the deputy assistant secretary for installations. "This will provide the Air Force with the appropriate synergy to accomplish its mission."

This announcement is not a final basing decision. Selection is subject to completion of the environmental impact analysis process. Pending completion of the analysis, Air Force officials intend to bed down two training C-27Js, with aircraft arriving in the second half of fiscal 2014.
