U.S. Air Forces Stands Up KC-46 Test Unit

Does anybody besides me remember Darleen Druyun?  This has been a long time in coming.  Hopefully the similarities to their commercial airframe will allow things to move along quickly.  My put: systems and software, especially networking and other features intended to make the tanker compatible with space and "dark" team-mates like future UAS platforms, are the biggest threat to schedule.  Guess we'll see.
