After flying the Boeing-built KC-135 (modified 707 airframe) for years, I say GOOD on ‘em. The new tanker should be a Boeing; they’re the best, hands down.

Thanks, I’ve heard others say they were great planes. They’re definitely a proven aircraft for the years they’ve been flying.

Maybe back in the days of the B707. Now, they are like any other company that does not have to compete. I have 6,000 hours flying Boeings, and I don't ever want to fly one again.
