Air Force hopes to have new tanker soon
Head of Air Mobility Command, Gen. Arthur Lichte, said the U.S. Air Force risks grounding its KC-135 tanker fleet if a new tanker is not selected soon.
Lichte praised both aircraft from Northrup Grumman/EADS and Boeing, saying they were outstanding and could do the job.
Each plane, he said, would add unique dimensions to how the Air Force used its tankers in the future.
