Boeing deserves to win, because is really flying and refuelling. It’s not still on the paper as the Airbus.
USAF made the mistake and GAO is doing what the GAO has to do :diablo:

Long life KC-767 🙂

A-330 flying and refuelling…..

The South African Airforce has a considerable number of DC-3/C-47’s on their inventory. These are not hangar queens, but are used as transports, with a few used as maritime patrol aircraft with updated electronics/radar. So they still fulfill vital airforce roles and duties.

Now I know that they have been extensively modernised with turboprops and aerodynamic changes amongst others. But surely the manufacturers plate is still the same?

So I’d guess that it would most likely be a DC-3/C47 somewhere…..most of them are on their way to their 70th birthday!!!

I heard that El Salvador FAS was trying to get an south african C-47 for support their Dakota´s fleet

Boeing identifies 14 nations for P-8A exports

Boeing sees an export market for “about 100 P-8 derivatives” with countries that operate the Lockheed P-3 Orion or similar aircraft and are “looking for a long-range maritime patrol, maybe multi-mission, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance-capable platform,” says Egan Greenstein, the company’s senior manager P-8A business development.

“Some we’re talking to directly, some we’re talking to in support of the US Navy’s foreign military sales, but there are about 14 countries that are interested or have a current capability that they need to replace in the next 10 years,” he says. The target nations are Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Greece, India, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, South Korea, Spain and Thailand.

Boeing is negotiating a direct commercial sale of eight P-8As to India to meet its requirement for an interim long-range maritime reconnaisance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft.

Harold Wilson was the main reason for get out the british way for the navy with his refusal to the sell of Leander frigates to Spain, so the Navy had only one way, the US and the modified knox frigates, known as Baleares.

We made 8 Descubiertas, but the last two were “sold” (the payment is not very clear) to the egyptian navy almost inmediately, and the Navy got the promise of the fourth FFG instead of the two corvettes.
