Moog Inc. announced today that the U.S. Air Force at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, has awarded the company a contract for the repair of flight control hardware. The initial order, with a value of $2.2 million, calls for repairs to Pitch and Roll Channel Assemblies and Aileron Rudder Interconnects to be performed within a one-year period. Long-term follow-on options with an additional value of nearly $10 million extend through the year 2007. Moog designed the hardware for the F-15 in the late '60s under contract for McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing). Moog's workload on this contract will supplement the USAF depot at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, providing a second source of repair for the USAF and eliminating any repair backlogs. The F-15 Eagle is an all-weather tactical fighter designed to maintain air superiority by the U.S. Air Force through a mixture of maneuverability, acceleration, range, weapons, and avionics. 'This contract award reflects the U.S. Air Force's commitment to readiness. Its significance to us, ' said R.T. Brady, Chairman and CEO, 'is the recognition that Moog's repair capability and technical expertise are required in order to keep the F-15 flying.' Moog Inc. is a worldwide manufacturer of precision control components and systems. Moog's high-performance actuation products control military and commercial aircraft, satellites and space vehicles, launch vehicles, missiles and automated industrial machinery.
