Would that be the American tanker with:
- A high risk 7-late-7 flight deck modified for military needs.
- An unsolved wing flutter problem.
- AAR pods which simply do not meet the customer's requirements.
- A dismal despatch reliability rate.
- Questionable runway performance.
Or a proven design ordered by Australia, Saudi Arabia, UAE and the UK which not only has fully functioning AAR systems and no wing flutter or buffet problems, but also vastly superior AAR capability and runway performance?
Ol' Bubba Boeing is squirming hard to keep the 767NoGo tanker programme alive. Just ask the Italian Air Force about all Boeing's delivery promises....
Still, if the USAF really is stupid enough to order the 767NoGo, they'll deserve all they get...
