Watching Over TAFB

For our first meeting of the new year, Bud Ross, retired Air Force officer and past chair of the Travis Community Consortium was our guest speaker.  The Travis Community Consortium is an advocacy group of government and private entities dedicated to ensuring Travis Air Force Base remains a vital element of our national defense.  One of their goals is to inform the community about the issues facing TAFB.  Currently, one of those issues is the early retirement of KC-10s.  With half of the entire fleet of KC-10s residing at TAFB, their early retirement could have a significant impact on Solano County's economy.  Bud Ross and the other members of the TCC are doing their best to raise awareness and lobby for TAFB's well-being at both here in California and in Washington D.C.
