Airbus MRTT boom incident
At a crucial time when the tanker competition here in the States is going to happen, again.

  1. How any in congress could support Airbus is beyond me beyond the obvious kick-backs from lobbiests.

    The incident of the boom aside, this would in most mind's be a clear choice in securing and or providing American jobs!

  2. Having been interested at one point in the NG-EADS entry for employment at Mobile, I simply hope everything is above board.
    The A330 is a proven airframe and the potential for the A330-200F to undergo final assembly at Mobile is a boon for them. The 767 is long in the tooth and a 777 derivative is a very large aircraft.
    Just trying to be objective. I have seen some of those old KC-135s. Some have been around since I was a little boy.
