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.
