Things that stink can only be unstunk to a certain point. Permiation goes beyond skin deep. There is also a limited supply of Lysol™️. Roses would die.

Better to have and not need than need and not have.

I’d rather have My Tax dollars spent on having the A2A Refueling on the new planes.

I love Trump, but the air force had originally budgeted these at $2.9B:

thought Trump was just going to repaint the existing “fleet”?


He’s doing both. Repaint the present ones now.

Buy the new ones for delivery in 2024.

Need changes to handle the new requirement to have "MAGA" in 5-foot letters on both sides of the fuselage...
