You'd be so lucky! Where is the sense in this? A good sound airframe does not need to be scrapped if it can still perform its role well. Look at the Canberra, Hunter, B52, KC135 and KC10! The cutting edge of technology has not made the A330 a better AT/AAR platform than well maintained TriStar, except in fuel burn, but renting FSTA costs ten times as much as the TriStar we already have (had)!
As the USAF found, why buy a new "B52" when the one you already have does the job?
Spilt milk now, but some of the "mighty VSO's" we see in pictures on the pages, should be ashamed of this waste of the defence budget when other important capabilities have just been lost due to "cost"!.
