" 'Much better 767 tanker'? ROFLMAO at that! " ...Mr Beagle, I can think of several reasons why a 767 is better suited than the A330. Better suited to the requirement - won't come back half full; softer footprint - operates from softer runways; smaller aircraft = larger fleet so you get more assets; Nah, the 330 is too big.
I reckon the Aussies only chose it because the MoD did - they must be crackers. Have you seen how weak most of their runways are??
