McConnell AFB takes precautionary measures ahead of severe weather   

26 February 2023

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Most aircraft from the 22d Air Refueling Wing on McConnell Air Force Base have relocated outside of the area due to the threat of severe weather.

McConnell aircraft are relocating as a precaution due to projected severe thunderstorms, which have the potential for strong winds and hail. The relocation is being accomplished to both protect the aircraft from potential damage and to maintain the mission capability for McConnell’s Global Mobility mission.


Storm Track 3 Forecast: Severe storms today, stay weather aware!

The aircraft will return to McConnell AFB after the storm has passed and the base facilities and runway are deemed safe and ready to receive aircraft.
