$TMPS ex-RAF Tristar MTT aircraft each have a 300,000lb fuel load capacity.

Omega's B707s only have a 156,000-160,000 lb fuel load capacity [less than a USAF KC-135].

Omega's KC-10 will be similar to a $TMPS Tristar.

So 900,000 lb total available from $TMPS and 616,000 lb total available from Omega at maximum effort.

So 46% more capacity for $TMPS with the same size aircraft fleet and much reduced operating costs for reasons stated in my previous analysis dated March 20:

- More fighters can refuel per sortie.

- Less fuel consumed by tanker returning to base less frequently to refuel.

- Less take-offs and landings in a year.

- Less maintenance manhours.

- Less spares - particularly tires and brakes - consumed per year.

- Less fatigue life consumed by take-off / landings.
