KC-777 or KC-767-400?
James Wallace of The Seattle Post Intelligencer has this excellent piece about the prospects of Boeing offering a KC-777 or a “KC-764”.
Update, 130 PM PDT: Innovation Analysis Group has this 7 minute podcast with Dan Beck, spokesman for Boeing’s tanker program. (Longtime spokesman Bill Barksdale has moved on to other duties within Boeing.)
No mention by James Wallace of the tail strike (or boom strike if you will) that you reported on from your talks with Boeing at Farnborough.
Is a KC-767-400 eligible for the KC-X or not?
Wallace was not at the Farnborough briefing and may have been unaware of the issue.
Check out his podcast today on the tanker. We’ve linked it to another post.
