"Tell that to the hundreds of NGC s/w engineers in Florida, to the thousands of assemblers in Alabama and the many thousands of parts suppliers scattered across the US, who would have worked on the NGC tanker."

OK, to the engineers and assemblers in Alabama and everywhere else... you're assembling a re-badged Airbus. There. Oh, and I live in Alabama. I'm well aware of what the program would involve. It's basically just an airplane maquiladora... a place to cheaply assemble parts fabricated in Europe. In the end, it's still an Airbus.

You have no idea what the NGC engineers in Melbourne Fla. would do. Hint: they don't assemble things.

And you don't have any idea what the "program" would involve. "Oh", and I do more than live near what would be the NGC Tanker program.
