Well we are glad the Japanese got their tanker but, correct me if I'm wrong, the Italian Air Force wasn't supposed to be the launch costumer for the KC-767 Dream Tanker. So far, for all of the italian tanker pilots it is still a dream.
Did Boeing discuss when are they planning to deliver it?
What are the real problems with that plane?
I'll bet a beer Boeing will deliver the tanker first to USAF then to IT.AF!
