USAF may need to retain some KC-135s (built 1957 to 1965) into the 2050s due to the ongoing problems and delays with the KC-46A.

The US DoD "Tanker Gap" just keeps getting worse.
As stated previously, in my expert opinion, any contractor capable of meeting the on-call readiness requirements for military air-to-air refueling is likely to get a DoD contract.
The less the USAF has to do for the USN / USMC in terms of "probe and drogue" refueling for the next 10-15 years - if not 25 years - the better.
It is not a matter of competition between $TMPS and Omega. There is plenty of work for both.
At some point, I believe the whole situation regarding a mix of US military and contractor provided tanker forces will be re-evaluated.
