Tell them the KC-45 tanker will benefit America and your community

This country can't afford to risk more delays in the replacement of its Eisenhower-era tankers, which is why the best choice is a design that has already been flown and tested, and is ready to be built.

It's time to make sure Congress understands that the KC-45 will be an American tanker, built by 48,000 Americans across the nation to be proudly flown by the U.S. Air Force. EADS North America has proven itself as a reliable, high-performing American prime contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense and is ready to do the same on the KC-45 program.
