MASSIVE news from Sen. Ted Budd:

Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink has notified the senator that Seymour Johnson Air Force Base will be the recipient of modernized F-15EX aircraft procured through the Fiscal Year 2027 budget.

“This confirmation from the Department of the Air Force that Seymour Johnson’s mission is being prioritized and modernized with the procurement of F-15EX aircraft is an important step toward ensuring America maintains its air dominance,” Budd said in a news release. “But we cannot stop here. Congress must do its job and pass the NDAA with a multiyear procurement provision that accelerates F-15EX production, strengthens our air defenses, and ensures we have no gap in our operational or training capabilities. Our adversaries are picking up pace on their defense modernization efforts, and we risk falling behind if we stall any longer.”

Great day for SJAFB! Great day for Wayne County!

If my mama was still living she would without a doubt be mighty happy about this. Thank you to those that made this happen.
