uh.... no
not only no but HELL NO.
the USAF is not going to buy a foreign aircraft for its tanker fleet.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Nobody said they should or even mentioned them. I saw the article which surprised me, I did not know Brazil was in the aerospace business already.

If it's really cheap a lot of countries might consider it. In 10 years ...

Brazils been great in the aerospace industry.  the AMX venture is great.  but everyone trying to get involved with the USAF tanker program should be honest with themselves and their shareholders.

I know Brazil has been in some real hot competition with Bombardier here in Canada. The small passenger and transport market has been really cut-throat.

Many a time I've flown a US commuter airline using Embraer products.  They seem to fit the bill.
Any time is a good time for pie.
