After many speculations and delays, the U.S. Air Force issued a request for information to replace the its aging KC-135 tanker fleet. The RFI was released in late April 2006 and a final decision will be made mid- to late 2007, or even later.
As expected, Boeing entered the competition with their KC-767 GlobalTanker. Omega Air Ltd., offers the Air Force a retrofitted DC-10 airplane, and last but not least, EADS North America and Northrop Grumman offer the Airbus 330.
