The Boeing tanker can use the same facilities as the current tanker.

Same hangars, same runways.

Also, the Boeing model will be made, mostly, in the United States. Though I am a “free trade” person, at heart -— the “cost” of the Boeing project must include the fact that American workers will pay American taxes!

Also, some allowance should be made for the huge European subsidies, in the Airbus plan.
