Now watch Boeing struggle with their high-risk programme, pods which don't work properly etc. etc.....

Sorry I couldn't tell you earlier mate, but the "All American" KC-767NG will have BRITISH wing pods and a BRITISH designed centreline hose and drogue unit on board. Manufacturing will be done in the USA, but the design, development and qualification will be done here in blighty.

Boeing "shoring up its position as a US national champion.." Priceless..

I think the KC-767NG when all is said and done will be about as American as beef and ale pie!!
