USAF General: CR Could Break KC-46 Contract

If the Pentagon is forced to operate for a long time under a continuing resolution, it could lead the US Air Force to break its contract with Boeing on the KC-46 tanker.

Brig. Gen. Duke Richardson, the program executive on the Air Force's next-gen tanker program, told an audience at the Air Force Association annual convention that a continuing resolution (CR) would create a "very large problem" for the program.

But how big a problem wasn't clear until after his speech, when he told a reporter that the CR could potentially break the contract with Boeing, one which is notable for the financial protection it affords the service.
