Tankers, OTOH, don’t lend themselves to mass production -so a split buy would be the very definition of insanity.

Agreed...Think of the ongoing years of maintenance, not only parts but the training of personnel for two completely different aircraft. Very, very expensive!

Well with CONgresscritters and cash in the mix, Heaven only knows where this will wind up.

Maybe the Exhalted One, The Zero will cut tankers altogether.

If the Air Force stays home, after all, ya don’t need tankers.
