We write today to express our strong support for the inclusion of $30 million in the Fiscal Year 2023 budget request for the acquisition of a 133-acre plot of land adjacent to Tinker Air Force Base for the forthcoming B-21 depot maintenance campus.
As you know, the B-21 Raider is the most advanced long-range stealth bomber and will provide critical capabilities needed to deter our nation’s adversaries. Timely construction of the B-21 depot maintenance campus at Tinker Air Force Base is vital to keeping this aircraft in the air and on mission. For the Air Force to meet its timeline to design and construct the B-21 campus in time to service the fleet, this land acquisition must occur in FY2023.
