Ares Blog is reporting that Boeing won the Tanker contest!
Absolutely awesome.
Not because I necessarily care at this point about the contest itself...but because the Air Force actually followed the rules of the competition this time. There is no way that two dissimilar aircraft should have been allowed to compete.
This was the KC-X comp.
Not the KC-Y.
There is no way that the A-330 met the requirements that the USAF laid down.
This my friends is a win for the rules.
