Aboulafia: Gates punted tanker decision to Air Force
Aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia said Wednesday that the decision by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates to let the USAF run the KC-X contest was more about unloading a political headache than trust in the Air Force.
Aboulafia added that the current political climate favors Boeing and the WTO ruling is disadvantageous to EADS as long as the A350 airliner continues to get aid from European governments.
