henry, no, I don't.

Again, regarding Fogleman's comments, it seems he was accurate in the ratings given on survivability. As he is a Boeing advocate, I would be surprised if he spoke about areas where his choice lost.

Please note, I am not agreeing or disagreeing with his choice or the winning choice of tanker. I am not qualified to judge.

I was/am/will be surprised if EADS-produced hardware actually makes it to various tanker bases in the next 10 years, but hope I'm wrong and the USAF gets something better than the venerable, but decidely long in the tooth, KC-135s.
