Boeing has been awarded a contract with a potential value of $22.2 million by the U. S. Air Force to continue providing E-3 AWACS mission crew training at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. The contract is with the U. S. Air Logistics Center in Oklahoma City.

The new five-year contract -- covering one year and with four one-year options -- calls for Boeing to provide contract mission simulator support and training development services for E-3 AWACS mission crews at Tinker air base.

The contract calls for Boeing to develop courses and supporting courseware, develop computer-based training materials, provide academic and simulator instructors, operate the mission simulators and build training scenarios for the E-3 AWACS mission crews.

"This announcement is a vote of confidence in the quality of our work and work force," said Dennis Campbell, Boeing Aerospace Operations (BAO) E-3 Mission Crew Training program manager at Tinker. "We are very proud of our past performance on this contract, and we are excited about a continuation on this important program."
