Whilst the prospect of the EC and Boeing squaring up to each other in front of the FTO is one matter, what progress has Ol' Bubba Boeing made of late with the small matter of the Italian KC-767 programme?
Has the flutter problem been cured yet? Or is Ol' Bubba seriously expecting the Italians to accept the aircraft with the problem unresolved, against some vague promise of hopefully finding a fix in years to come? That would be an offer which most certainly could be refused...... Capice?
Top tip, Bubba. Throw away the present 767I pods and pylons and fit something designed by a company which knows what it's doing. Perhaps a visit to a certain company based in Wimborne might be an idea?
