I didn't see anything in the article suggesting a rx capability for the ac-thats not to say it would n't have its uses (eg consolidation of spare fuel on ops).I would also agree that the use in the AT role as a rx would be limited, in the example given above you would have to preposition your tanker or at least land it somewhere after the task. In this case why not just land the Voyager for crew swap and refuel? If we do get the P8 lets not f*** around with it-leave it as a boom rx and dont open another potential can of worms.
