Today, Air Mobility Command gathered at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, to celebrate the career of Lt. Gen. Rebecca Sonkiss, AMC Deputy Commander!

Throughout her distinguished career, Sonkiss has been a fierce advocate for modernizing our fleet and supporting the Airmen who make the mission happen every day. As AMC’s interim commander from February to August 2026, she commanded mobility forces through relentless global operations, including Operation Epic Fury.

Join us in thanking Lt. Gen. Sonkiss for her decades of dedicated service and wishing her the best in her retirement!

A lifetime of service, a lasting legacy.

Lt. Gen. Reba Sonkiss, AMC deputy commander, recently marked the end of her exceptional military flying career with a fini flight aboard a C-17 Globemaster III at Joint Base Lindsey Graham, culminating more than 4,400 flight hours across 10 military aircraft.

A “fini flight” marks a special milestone in an aviator’s career—their final flight to celebrate their service and contributions.

While her time in the cockpit has come to a close, her legacy of leadership, service and unwavering dedication to Airmen will continue to inspire the next generation of Mobility Airmen.

From the flightline to the global stage, rapid combat readiness starts with strong partnerships.

Last week, Air Mobility Command hosted 23 AMC civic leaders for an immersive tour of our mobility operations at Dyess Air Force Base and McConnell Air Force Base. Escorted by Maj. Gen. Gerald Donohue, AMC interim deputy commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Renae Pittman, AMC Public Affairs chief enlisted manager, AMC’s community advocates saw firsthand how our tactical air refueling missions sustain military power around the world.

Thank you to all our community partners who stand with us as we deliver the nation’s promises and project strength globally.

70 years ago, the KC-135 took flight for the first time.

On August 31, 1956, the first production KC-135A, tail No. 55-3118, took its maiden flight from Boeing’s facility in Renton, Washington, launching an aircraft legacy that would transform aerial refueling and become a cornerstone of Rapid Global Mobility.

Seven decades later, the KC-135 and its air refueling capabilities remain essential to extending the reach, endurance and flexibility of the Joint Force and enabling Mobility Airmen to deliver combat power at speed and scale, anytime and anywhere.

Innovation that keeps the mission moving.

A 3D-printed tool designed by a McConnell AFB maintainer allows Airmen to refinish aircraft wheels nearly 400% faster by allowing them to rotate wheels while painting, eliminating hours of drying time and reducing touch-ups.

For four years, this locally built innovation has saved up to 48 hours of downtime per wheel set and been adopted across multiple bases, demonstrating how Mobility Airmen turn creative ideas into practical solutions that keep the tanker enterprise moving.

Forging readiness.

Airmen from the 6th Air Refueling Wing integrated with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 11 during a six-week training deployment, while C-17 Globemaster III crews from the 60th Air Mobility Wing recently sharpened their skills through high-intensity tactical training.

From enabling Marine aviation operations to mastering low-level maneuvers and heavy tactical landings, Mobility Airmen sharpen the skills and partnerships required to operate in demanding environments. Together, we build the readiness needed to deliver rapid global mobility for the Joint Force.
