Boeing aerial refueling tanker heads to Italy
Article Abstract:
Structural and system modifications that convert Boeing 767 airliners into military aerial refueling tanker aircrafts received a boost in Italy as Boeing and its Italian partner Aeronavali (OAN) inducted the second KC-767A aerial tanker into an aircraft modification center in Naples, Italy. Japan has expressed interest in a similar arrangement with Boeing but the company is more interested in increasing orders in the US where it hopes the Air force will lease-buy 100 KC767 tanker aircraft for $23.5 billion.
