OAP, remind me how much time, money and effort was wasted on:
- The failed project to include wing AAR pods on the TriStar.
- The ZD949 'glass cockpit' fiasco.
If both projects had been completed on time and on budget and if a modern AAR mission planning/management system had been included, the TriStar would have probably had a better chance of remaining in service. It would have been an extremely capable tanker, with considerable AT capability.
But who knows what will be the knock-on effect of the Voyager having been grounded?
