Much of the defense equipment focus in 2024 was about the U.S. Air Force and its next-generation fighter plans, NGAD. But the service's ambitions for aerial refueling and airlift are also in flux. Aviation Week editors Steve Trimble and Brian Everstine will dive into the current dynamics in that sector, what decisions the Trump Administration faces.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Where the U.S. Air Force is going with NGAS, the next-generation tanker.
• What the status is of the KC-46A program.
• What is in store for USAF tactical airlift.
• What are the budget realities around aerial refueling and airlift.
