Well, no new KC-46A tanker mission for the 126th Air Refueling Wing at Scott Air Force Base. The wing will be around for a few more years flying the 1960s-era KC-135, but at some point those planes will be retired and hence, the potential loss of the primary flying mission at Scott and a loss of many full- and part-time Air National Guard jobs.

I guess U.S. Rep. Bill Enyart has his work cut out for him.
