USAF "Hose and Drogue" Method AAR Requirement.
[just posted on iHub to debunk nonsense from basher / suspect Omega shill]
As has been stated repeatedly in my authoritative briefs, 30% of the longer term USAF AMC / TRANSCOM contract opportunity now under study at the direction of Sec AF is for refueling by the "hose-and-drogue" method - the method the Tristar is currently set up for - contract opportunity TRANSCOM18R013 refers.
The bulk of US DoD "hose-and-drogue" AAR of USN, USMC, special operations and relevant allied assets is not done by either the USN or Omega.
For instance, some KC-135Rs of 100 ARW at RAF Mildenhall, UK have a "hose and drogue" underwing pod capability - not just the "flying boom" adaptor which does not permit role change once airborne.

Also, all USAF KC-10s - being retired first due to the high maintenance costs - are also dual method.
