melmothw, hardly the case here. Some clear corrections of KenV's misinformation have been provided by those in the know. The fact that he chooses to ignore them and to pursue some weird agenda of his own is particularly revealing.

Anyway, since the KC-46A has yet to turn a wheel, let alone fly or start its flight test campaign, most of the claims made for it have yet to be proved - leaving the tanker market to the Airbus A330MRTT and IAI's modified 'pre-owned' 767s. When it's a choice between something sitting in the static display or some glossy brochure peddled by Boeing, the latter would have to be pretty compelling to be successful.
