You guys know damm well that if Boeing wins the second round, the feathers are going to fly.

...And where are the hoses for probe guys on the 767?

Is it receiver capable? It looks like there's a recepticle above the cockpit...

hoses are on the wingtips. .similar to MPRS

Well if McCain gets elected, we know Boeing is out!

I thought it was going to have the same wing as the 767-400, from the pic above it doesn't appear so. Anyone know?

My vote is def with the KC-45 then! I hate those things, almost as much as the maiden.

I don't know what pod the Brits have on the VC-10, but we need to attach those things. Much easier to tank off of.
