So that'll be the Airbus KC-30 for the USAF then?

Harry Stonecipher, before he resigned from Boeing, had already said that their 7E7 design is unsuitable as a tanker (why?) - and it's pretty obvious that developing a KC-777 instead of the scandal-tainted KC-767 will take a while to achieve.

Plus the A400M for the RAAF, to complement the 5 x A330 MRTTs they already have on order, perhaps?
