Were you also aware that Boeing just lost the USAF tanker competition to Northrup/EADS? Yep, sure am. But the concept is still valid. I am also aware that the Boeing 767 was first flown on 26 September 1981 and the first production 767 aircraft was delivered to United Airlines in August 1982. I am also aware that the 767 tanker concept was started in the 1990s, and Boeing started producing test versions in 1999, and the KC767 version for cargo, passenger, and tanker was considered and developed in the late 1990s, and that the US Military received many 767 tankers for testing purposes prior to 2001 and could have easily converted them for use in the 9-11-2001 Shock & Awe attack against the WTC Towers.
