Download or read book Air Force aircraft preliminary information on Air Force tanker leasing written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the Air Force's plan to replace a portion of its KC-135 aerial refueling tanker fleet with leased Boeing 767 aircraft. It also assesses aerial refueling tanker requirements; the cost-effectiveness of different options (lease, purchase, modify, or extend the service life of the fleet); the policy for leasing major defense acquisition programs; the costs associated with infrastructure improvements; and the depot maintenance backlog. Recognizing that the full extent of this analysis could not be done before the terms of the lease were negotiated, you asked that we provide the preliminary results of our efforts by May 15, 2002.
