WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — An era in Kansas aviation has come to a close with the departure of the last aircraft from a Boeing Co. defense maintenance facility in Wichita, ending a 70-year relationship between the aircraft maker and the city.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1kckkJq ) that an EB-4 took off Thursday from Wichita, headed south, then banked back north for a final pass before continuing on to Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Future work on the planes will be performed at a Boeing facility in San Antonio, Texas.
