So where are all the jobs?

AF, tanker, Dresden.

There's gotta be a joke in there somewhere.

Where is Boeing’s tanker?

Is this the first time a USAF aircraft has landed there?

Air Force refueling tankers?

I thought, from reading a few years back, that the Air Force of the future would be unmanned fighters and bombers and ultralight remote controlled vehicles?

So, that being the case, why is the U.S. spending so much on tankers which are designed for refueling manned aircraft? Wont that be hundreds of billions spent and wasted on tankers whose missions will be obsolete in a few years?
