Multi-year history of $354M in contracts for military air-to-air refueling awarded to Omega - the only other significant contractor in the US which operates a fleet of tankers with less capacity and utility than the $TMPS Tristar fleet - the latest for $43M+ .
I have now located all the contracts which are continuous from 2007 to 2018.
As I stated in my previous authoritative posts on the subject, there is more than enough headroom for another contractor in this space given the shortfall in US military "probe- and-drogue" refueling capability.
Also, I was correct to state in various posts that we could expect to see increased use by the US military of contractor provided air-to-air refueling for deployments, delivery flights, trials and missions where "non-military" aircraft are desirable. All these are now confirmed by the following detail in the FY2017 and FY2018 contracts which refer to:
- Various locations outside the Continental US including Guam, Denmark, Belgium and the UK (deployments / exercises).
- Foreign Military Sales Program (deliveries).
- Support to Government contractors (refueling trials).
- Support to other DoD and Government agencies (don't ask !).

Nov 18, 2009: 3 bought. Omega Aerial Refuelling Services has purchased 3 Boeing 707-300s from the Australian government, which had modified 2 of the 3 for aerial refueling duties during their RAAF service.

Omega has already used its K-707 fleet to refuel Australian F/A-18A/B fighters, in the absence of the RAAF K-707s it has just purchased. On the other hand, it is much cheaper for Australia to pay for flight hours than it is to support the aircraft’s full ownership costs.
