Interesting tidbit here. The current Sec of the Air Force has been out of the Air Force for THIRTY FIVE YEARS! He has no direct experience with tankers of any sort, in fact, he has been involved in space and missile programs for the better part of three decades since leaving the AF.

This is the guy who professes to know that the A330 will make a better tanker even though it has never been used as such and neither EADS nor Northrup Grumman have been involved in making tankers.

Am I missing something here?
