On December 02, 2018 Ramstein Air Base in Germany welcomed a Boeing KC-46A Pegasus for the first time. The aircraft wore civilian registration N842BA and arrived from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska using callsign "Boeing465" with a flight time of just over ten hours. The aircraft will wear serial 11-46005 when it enters service with the United States Air Force and is due to be present at Ramstein for a few days. Ramstein is likely to be a regular destination for the KC-46A fleet in the future.
