McConnell AFB
Welcome to McConnell Air Force Base. The 22nd Air Refueling Wing is the host unit for McConnell AFB. We are one of only three supertanker KC-135 Stratotanker wings in the Air Force. Our primary mission is to provide global reach by conducting air refueling and airlift where and when needed. Team McConnell is primarily made up of the 22nd ARW, the 931st Air Reserve Group and the Kansas Air National Guard's 184th Refueling Wing.
Wichita, KS
Wichita is the largest city in Kansas. It serves as a major manufacturing center and as the distribution center for a large farm region that produces dairy products, grain, and livestock. Wichita is called the Air Capital of the World. It ranks as the world's largest producer of general aviation aircraft. There are almost 700 manufacturing plants in the metropolitan area. The production of business and defense aircraft is the major industry. Wichita is also the petroleum capital of Kansas. Oil fields lie just outside the city, and many oil companies have offices or refineries in Wichita. Other industries produce chemicals, camping and recreational equipment, specialty equipment, and plastics.
