Air Force leaders want someone within the service’s ranks to come up with a name for the new tanker aircraft, the KC-45A. Names should be no more than two words long, and in the words of Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, "emphasize our heritage or our future horizon." Suggestions, along with a sentence or two explaining them, can be submitted to namethetanker@pentagon.af.mil until May 30. All entrants must include their name, rank, duty station and contact information. Government civilians must identify their office and position.
