Reading your MOG link I found that link http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/new_pubs/jp4_01_8.pdf
Nice to read.
On page IV-10 I saw a fleet of C-17 parking on an airfield.
Capacity for C-17 is 18 463L pallets,
for KC-767 19 and for A330-MRTT 32 463L pallets.
According to Boeing "the oversized KC-30" got "27% fewer deployable aircraft per field".
OK, I knew. The Air Force only wants a tanker but according to the Air Force a KC-30 can provide 31% more fuel offload at 1,000 nm. At longer ranges this advantage is even greater.
Isn't it an advantage to have a tanker with greater range to keep your airfields at the war zone free of unnecessary aircrafts?
