ol-IEWO Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Looks like they forget to check the refueling method earlier. Now there is a problem. Maybe they'll subcontract the refueling to the USAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll subcontract the refueling to the USAF. It has been a known problem for years. They should have bought the Navy version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosswind Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Maybe they can just go build a modernized version of the Delta Dart and call it good. Oh shit . . . Bad Idea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosuper Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Plenty of retired KC-135E's, 3 have been sold to Chili. More affordable than the KC-330 and more proven too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 That first one is Chili's, not Chili. Big difference. Obviously. I think he meant this Chili... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoleIt Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Do they usually taxi around with their hoses all droopy like that? sts Yeap, that's a drogue basket/iron maiden. On MPRS jets the soft basket will retract all the way into the pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKopack Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Given the history of their military acquisition system they'll jump back in in three years at double the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Griswold Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Yup, assuming the program is truly TBTF and will be continued if sequestration kicks in. Suprised they didn't go with Rafale or Typhoon since they have traditionally wanted two engines (and half the cost) when you are way out over the great white north but to each his own...

Guest Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 ...they have traditionally wanted two engines (and half the cost) when you are way out over the great white north but to each his own... So you're saying you guys typically have threshold requirements for training purposes vs wanting two engines in combat? Really? Simmer down Clark.
