    KC-46A programm in trouble... allready.

    This is getting better and better for the USAF. I'm thinking US pilots are going to have to learn how to glide in a fighter, pretty soon...

    KC-46 test program is not executable

    Scroll down to the "KC-X: Contracts & Key Developments" section.

    Couldn't get the link to open...here is another

    Not a big deal. I work in acquisition and my program just executed a major test....which the same office said was at high risk and not executable. Turned out DOD lacked the specific expertise to effectively evaluate our system because they were basing on old business practices and we use totally new ones.

    It all comes out...and this does not mean a program is at risk of cancellation. On the contrary this is very normal in DOD acquisition.
    Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is to know to not use it in a fruit salad.
