JSTARS replacement
Looks like things are started to percolate a bit more on a JSTARS replacement.


Boeing now has a page touting a 737-700 derivative, with a few renderings.


Boeing: Next Generation JSTARS


Recent article on congressional interest mentioning the 737-700, Gulfstream C550 and Global 6000 as contending airframes.


Congress Urges Air Force to Accelerate JSTARS Recap


Seems no KC-46 derivative as a few of us speculated in that thread a while back. Black boxes must be getting much smaller....

Kinda retro and missing a couple of engines but at least it'll be affordable.

Only kidding about the last bit!!
