The 767 airliner that this KC-46 tanker is based on has gone out of production and its assembly lines have been shut down by Boeing for lack of sales.

Advanced fly by wire refuling boom. WTH difference does it make? The old ones work just fine. We have become far too complicated. We can’t do a damn thing right.
Hose and drouge have been around for decades. How hard can that be to get right.
Idiots.

Kept re-bidding the contract until Boeing won. Airbus saw the handwriting on the wall.
They would have been better off going with the original winner.

I would rather Boeing have delays than give the contract to Airbus.

The way the KC-46A contract was written, Boeing must eat any cost overruns.
