“Not all but close. as for the eads it aint got NADA.”

It’s going to be outfitted with whatever equipment the Air Force specifies. So your claims are rubbish.

“the KC-30 is not what its made up to be people”

Really who says? You? ROFLMAO!!!

At least the KC-30 is flying, unlike Boeings NON-EXISTANT KC-767AT

“It will cost more, as almost all of there programs are, it will be delayed as all of there programs are. and cannot do the job its suppose to.”

Oh, like Boeing hasn’t inflated program costs before?

The baseline KC-767 that was bought by Japan and Italy were over 2 years late being delivered.

And as far as can not do it’s job, the KC-767AT can’t refuel the M-22 Osprey either due to the slower speed of the V-22.

Read the Tanker blogs plenty of aircrews.

How is it 5 years behind? The partner nations, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Belgium, and Luxembourg, signed the agreement in May 2003 to buy 212 aircraft. And following the withdrawal of Italy and revision of procurement totals the revised requirement was for 180 aircraft, with first flight in 2008 and first delivery in 2009.
