USAF Orders Three Boeing C-40C Aircraft

They'll Go To The 932nd Airlift Wing At Scott

The US Air Force has announced orders for three Boeing C-40C aircraft to provide worldwide transportation support for government officials. The C-40Cs are based on the Boeing Business Jet and will replace retiring C-9A aircraft, supplying the Air Force with reliable, updated and cost-effective airlift support.

Military avionics and other state-of-the-art equipment will be installed on the 737-700 aircraft prior to delivery. Following delivery, the aircraft will be operated by the 932nd Airlift Wing at Scott Air Force Base, Ill.

"We’re pleased the C-40C, with its superior performance and range, 21st century avionics and quiet, fuel-efficient engines, meets the Air Force’s global requirements," said Boeing Derivative Airplane Programs Director Mark Rogers. "Boeing looks forward to continuing its outstanding teaming relationship with the Air Force on the C-40C program."

The first of the three Boeing C-40Cs will be delivered in early 2007. Boeing previously delivered three C-40C aircraft to the Air Force.
