As someone who will be directly affected by this contract....though I will prob retire by the time the AF has these in operation I can honestly say I hope they produce something that's worth while. I'm hoping they take the design issues from the KC10 and know what not to do for the next refueler. I've been a KC10 crew chief for the passed 13 1/2 yrs and they aren't aging very well. Especially problematic in cold climates.
