SecAF receives F-35 engine update at Tinker AFB

Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall visited Tinker Air Force Base July 28 for an update on the base's support to the F-35 Lightning engine program.

Kendall received an update on F135 engine maintenance and modernization prior to receiving a firsthand look at the F135 engine repair line, housed within the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex — the Defense Department's largest maintenance, repair and overhaul activity supporting a diverse aircraft, engine and software workload for the Air Force, Navy and partner nations. The OC-ALC is part of a public-private partnership with Pratt and Whitney, which establishes the framework for providing maintenance on the F135 engine.
