“Flyby Wire.. ever heard of emp.. kills them systems quick.”
Yet fly by wire is OK for F-16’s, F-22’s, F-35’s, B-2’s, F-117’s, C-17’s, F/A-18’s, and other military aircraft?
Too bad that you have more than shown that you havn’t got a single clue as to what you’re talking about, or you’d know that the Air Force requires all avionics including FBW systems to meet MIL-STD-1553B or the newer optical based MIL-STD-1773.
“I have more than posted links proving my point.”
You only posted links in your last 2 posts, and they still don’t prove squat.
“You have provided ZERO”
Like you should talk.
“except EXTREME BDS”
And in your case it’s been extreme BS.

BECAUSE THEY ARE SHIELDED. THE KC-30 IS NOT compaired to the KC-767.

Thats not gonna cover all the other systems. And there FLY BY WIRE SYSTEM IS NOT.

Then you must need glasses.
Yawn.
“BECAUSE THEY ARE SHIELDED. THE KC-30 IS NOT”
How do YOU know it isn’t?
“Thats not gonna cover all the other systems. And there FLY BY WIRE SYSTEM IS NOT.”
If it’s in a military aircraft IT DOES cover the systems.
“Then you must need glasses.”
And you need a clue.

No its not..its a comercial off the shelf airplane with FEW emp upgrades.
Knock off the personal attacks. All of you. Don’t make me come back here. This thread will look like it suffered an airstrike.
Ping
From both links:
“Boeing today said”
As far as the other links you posted above...
The first one isn’t credible at all since it’s from one of boeing’s own unions.
The Michele Malkin one actually lends more support for what I’ve been saying.
Jed Babbin’s is laughable at best since he’s parroting boeing’s propaganda. He doesn’t even mention the fact that the Air Force IS looking for a larger more capable tanker as was stated by general handy before he was bought by boeing.
The two remaining links have zero credibility since one is huffington post, and the other is a site with ties to democratic underground and daily kos.
Interesting. The link shows he had no interest in the tanker contract for two years before March, when Boeing lost the competition and presumably recruited him.
and you are right and everyone else is wrong.
otay..
tennis shoes check purple vail check.. Hale Bopp
Look at post 466.
Look at post 466.
You are the one ..
We have shown that you are incorrect and you attack attack and attack. even when there are links proving.
Ummmm no.
I guess you missed the point that the production line is moving here
well here are somemore links to support the FACT that it will be BUILT IN EUROPE AND SHIPPED TO ALABAMA!!!!!!!

Too bad that you have more than shown that you havn’t got a single clue as to what you’re talking about,
I guess all the experts are too.. And also the GAO supported the claim and so did the USAF after the FACT.

No. Nothing of the sort is "shown".
What you are apparently deriving from an absence of prior specific commentary, is only what you apparently wish to. Which is a logical fallacy. As is well understood by logicians..."An absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence." I.e., his disapproval of the EADs bid did not need to be published until it became evident that it absolutely had to be opposed.
... when Boeing lost the competition and presumably recruited him.
My, you presume a lot.
Here we go again
wanna bet someone got some EADS perks or a job offer.
This needs to go to the Fed courts or congress needs to shut it down.
