Heck, why not buy a bunch of 767 or 747 airframes for tanking and other missions?They going to lease a bunch of 767s and convert them to tankers. A big ass waste of money/boondoggle designed to save Boeing's rear end from the loss of the JSF contract and all the airframes they are sitting on because they got into the airplane leasing business and then 9-11 shot that industry in the temple.

Beats relying on 45-year old planes that are modified 707s.
