I wonder how all that boom software is going work after a nuclear EMP.

Yup...and all them nukes that the Stratobladder has survived...

I feel bad for the selects...they are going to Altus and will get thrown in the KC-135 FTU...and they will probably never touch the -46.

The initial cadre hasn't even been selected.

Did any other units get the email to figure out if you are 747/757/767/787 qualified?   The AF is looking to the ANG for help on this.

Why is this so damn complicated to get it certified? I once refueled from an Italian 767 tanker with boom and drougue......WTF USAF? Stop being a shitshow, build the damn thing, we'll figure out how to get gas from it, it's not rocket science.

It is clearly a Boeing problem on a firm fixed priced contract; It is in Boeing's best interest to get it built. It is not a question of certifying it, it hasn't even passed milestone C.  If it can't pass gas, what's the point in buying it? I think the Italian version took a decade to enter service... We're only 5 years in! And it took 4 years just to get it to fly.

Did you do an exchange with the Italians?
