itchybum,
Sorry mate, not having a go at you, just wondering if you know something more about the KC-767 program than what I did... you said "Proven technology ignored", I have not been following the KC-767 program closely but do remember the Italians ordering the first 767's, I thought for introduction next year, and US congress giving approval for 100 aircraft mid last year, and Japan for some a fair way off, was not aware of any flying yet, do you have other info ?
And the comment "Possibilty of greater commonality (with B737) lost too", I thought wedgetail/VIP was
new 737-700 based (NG), and the KC-767
old 767-200/300 airframes, the cockpit fits I would image be quite different. Maybe the RAAF have got sick of second hand airframes (a la B707).
