Used planes, whether 767, DC-10, MD-11 or A310, could be in service much quicker
And your source for this is what? Apart your own surreal imagination?
Let's face it greybeard you are out of your depth on this one. By your own admission you know nothing about AT and AAR operations. You have no/little knowledge of current operations in the USAF KC10 and 135 fleets and yet you persist in this stupidity, now claiming that a mixed fleet of 767s/DC10s/A310s would be cheaper.
You Sir are a troll, a good one, but a troll all the same. I salute you for keeping this topic going much longer than it should. At least
we all know that the USAF are getting the right aircraft for their needs.
