The Air Force officials sound like idiots. [/quote] I dunno, I would complain if I brought a new car and it still had tools inside form the people that made it. Leave a tool in the wrong place on an airplane and you can have severe issues [/quote] Don't airmen inspect all new planes on delivery before flying them? And leaking these complaints to the press? Beyond suspect. Maybe an officer was paid to write this shit. Buy the dip. [/quote] LOL, do you work at Boeing? poor workmanship is poor workmanship, doesn't matter who leaks the report [/quote] Already on Chinese payroll, Kiwi? [/quote]
Original Message
In a blistering attack on Boeing, the Air Force's top acquisition official said the company has a "severe situation" with flawed inspections of its new KC-46 air refueling tanker aircraft, after trash and industrial tools were found in some planes after they were delivered to the Air Force.
Dr. Will Roper, assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, technology and logistics, made clear his concerns after visiting Boeing's Everett Washington plant where the plane is assembled.
"I left concerned, and I also left thinking Boeing understands they have a severe situation that's going to take top level engagement from their company," Roper said.
After discovering the problem, the Air Force stopped accepting the new tankers from Boeing on February 20.
