Military Tanker Business Sector Update - July 13, 2020.

First retired KC-10 tanker going into storage at Davis-Monthan AFB.

Repeat of problems already posted about the KC-46A.

Reiteration of the possibility I already posted that contractors might operate retired USAF KC-135 / KC-10.

"U.S. Transportation Command, by way of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command, is also exploring options for hiring contractors to provide important additional tanker capacity. One of the options that Air Mobility Command has been considering is the sale or lease of tankers from U.S. military stocks, such as the boneyard at Davis-Monthan, to private companies, who would then operate them under contract with the U.S. military. The influx of KC-10As would add to a number of KC-135s already at the boneyard.
