State of Oklahoma Aerospace & Defense Today
Oklahoma boasts a robust legacy in space, aviation (together known as aerospace), and
defense. For over 70 years, the state has played host to what are now some of the largest
military and commercial aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) centers in
the world; Tinker Air Force Base (AFB) in Oklahoma City and American Airlines Technical
Operations in Tulsa. The manufacturing labor base to support these operations has
historically accounted for most of Oklahoma’s growth in the aerospace and defense (A&D)
industries; particularly surrounding the two major metropolitans.
Oklahoma. Imagine That.
