WICHITA, KS – JANUARY 11, 2012

Former Representative Todd Tiahrt(cq) worked for ten years to get the tanker contract in Boeing’s hands only for the company to leave the city he served after the contract was theirs.
The city of Wichita, KS is tied closely to the aircraft industry. Over the past century, Wichita has been the home to most of the large aviation manufacturers. Some people equate Wichita and aviation to Silicon Valley and the computer chip. However, over the past three years Wichita has seen many layoffs in the aircraft sector including the most recent news by Boeing that they will be leaving the city for good after over 8 decades of doing business in the city.
