Boeing Defense seems to do better, but obviously they can't build a tanker without BCA.
But jeez, they’ve been the tanker guys throughout history. Not just the KC-135s but converting C-97s to KC-97s, and even B-29s to KB-50s before that. And in months, not years. And for a damn sight less than $40 billion even in constant year dollars. You’d think the company would die from the embarrassment alone.
