Boeing officials are waiting to see the details of the long-awaited analysis of alternatives (AOA) for recapitalizing the U.S. Air Force refueling tanker fleet, hoping it will pave the way for the service to "outline a program path forward."

John Sams, vice president of Boeing Air Force Systems, said Jan. 30 he hopes the Air Force would be able to issue a request for proposals (RFP) by the end of the year.

Pentagon officials held two days of closed-door briefings on Capitol Hill last week on the AOA, and one congressman who participated, Rep. Norman Dicks (D-Wash.), says the RAND Corp. study recommends picking an existing commercial airframe from a wide range of aircraft that could include aircraft made by Boeing and Airbus (DAILY, Jan. 30, 2006).
