According to The Milwaukee Sentinel, the Wisconsin Air National
Guard is getting new planes.

The 128th Refueling Wing, based at Mitchell International (Milwaukee WI)
will have its 10 KC-135e jets replaced by KC-135R's. With the older jets 
being transfered to another state. As a side note the 128th was based in
Cario Egypt during the Gulf War.

Also the 128th Tactical fighter wing, based at Truax Field (Madison WI)
will have its 20 A-10 Warthogs replaced by 18 F-16's. The base comander
is quoted as saying "The F-16 is a more tactically advance aircraft, It's
a hotter plane."  The conversion is to start in 1993.
