Meanwhile, the KC-135 soldiers on and on and on...
Well Folks,
I'll say it right up front- my employer is Northrop Grumman in Bethpage, NY (and for those who remember- Grumman Aerospace) and the Division here heads up the E-2C/D, EA-6B and now EA-18G.
Forget about my partisan feeling for the KC-45A, it's the men and women of the USAF who are flying these 50+ year old KC-135's admirably in their
tanking capacity that really counts.
They and the USAF Air Mobility Command are being hurt by this politicking and job issues so that invariably a delay of one to two years has now injected to the schedule. What a shame this has been!
