Reading the KC-135 mishap report shows that nothing happened in that Dutch Roll PIO that can't be done with a new A330, any modern or new plane. Dutch roll is the most basic PIO (Pilot induced oscillation). The loss of rudder in flight followed by the total destruction of the plane in three parts and explosion in flight followed by CFIT and fire shows the potentiel danger of any oscillation. The modern data recorder and conversation showed exactly that any modern and new plane cannot resist better to resonance developing very quickly threw the pilot's pedals and feet out of the flight envelop.
