The Department of the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command (AETC) has awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Flightsafety Defense Corporation, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., to provide training and support services for the KC-46 Pegasus aerial refueling tanker. The $35 million single-award contract, which does not use a set-aside, allows AETC to issue firm-fixed price delivery orders for a range of products and services, including aircrew courseware development, program management, technical data packages, boom operator training, pilot transition training, and training support for international partners like Japan and Israel.
Under this IDV, Flightsafety Defense has received several delivery orders valued at over $1 million to provide KC-46 training, such as initial and refresher courses for boom operators, program management support for international partners, and courseware updates. The contractor's experience in delivering comprehensive aviation instruction, technical support, and training system services for military aviation programs has enabled it to support the Air Force's efforts to develop and field the KC-46 for U.S. and allied air forces. The contract work is primarily performed at locations like Altus Air Force Base, Fort Worth, and Denver.
