forgive me if I'm wrong here...

Hasn't Boeing already delivered several B767 tankers to the Japanese very, very recently?

For what that comment re "old junk" means to me,
In a combat situation, I would prefer a more conventional, robust, reliable airplane rather than an electronic whiz, which has already proven it's 'reliability record', even in civil use.

Someone mentioned earlier regarding the inappropriateness of the airbus flight control system in a combat sky.

Cheers...FD...
