Growing Frustration With Boeing KC-46 Tanker Program
The US Air Force's chief of staff has called for increased oversight of Boeing's KC-46 tanker schedule, signaling the Pentagon's rising frustration with the program's repeated delays and cost overruns.
During an exclusive interview with Defense News, Gen. Mark Welsh called on Boeing to provide a "predictable" timetable the Air Force can track from now until August 2017 — the company's deadline to deliver 18 operational tankers to the fleet.
