MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. – Most aircraft assigned to McConnell Air Force Base have relocated away from the area Monday due to potential severe weather, according to a media release.
The aircraft, flown by the 22nd and 931st Air Refueling Wings, departed as a precaution against projected high winds and possibility of hail early Tuesday morning.
