How's the KC-46 coming along?Good, better then the F-35
I though the US let a contract with Airbus for new tankers.
I don't think so. There was some controversy over that early on and now it's with Boeing as far as I know.
I have no idea how well they fly but I've always liked the A-4 Skyhawk. Relative to jets that came after they look light and small.They are, I forget the launch and recover weight. But we used a hand held nose steering bar on them to position them on the Cat. Couldn't do that now days. Of course the launch stroke of the cats are almost 100 feet longer than they were on the Oriskany (O-Boat) or Coral Maru.
