Perhaps the EC-135 Rivet Joint could also have the same multiple AAR systems as the E-3D? I'm sure the high-priced talent would have looked at this.....??
Beags,
With respect, why would we adapt one legacy airframe to fit the RAF version of the KC30 instead of adapting our order of the new KC30 (proven a la Aussies) to fit multiple multinational receiver types with a greater refuel rate???
Pplease educate me... I've given up guessing!
