Something very interesting that I read regarding current/future contracts, is that the Boeing KC-46 Pegasus tanker aircraft is apparently a mess of a program, and that LMT has proposed to create an tanker version of the Airbus A320(?) as a potential competitor. It would be a pretty huge step for the US military to essentially grab an European airframe, even though they will be built in the US, but I'd love to see it happen.

Boeing is such a mess these days, they need to get their stuff together.

That would shock me, and yes Boeing is still a mess.
