The US Air Force Won’t Buy Any More KC-46s Until Issues Are Fixed

On March 4th, the US Air Force’s new Vice Chief of Staff told lawmakers that his branch won’t finalize a new deal with Boeing for another 75 KC-46 tankers until some of the “deficiencies” with the refueler are resolved. As you may or may not already know, the 767-based tanker transport has experienced numerous issues since entering service – chief among them, the jet’s remote vision system for boom operators.
