Further to my last - I really, really don't care anymore who "wins". There will always be fault to be found, or areas lacking in any aircraft - they are, by nature, compromises - the folks on the line will make it work. Just as they've made 60 year old aircraft work...

And no matter how good an aircraft is at "X", someone will shout how they're deficient in "Y" or the other aircraft is better at "Y" - it truthfully doesn't matter.

Give us something & we'll get on with it.

Refuelled with a "new" KC-135R today - a '63 model!!!
