This video from the Northrop Grumman website sheds a little light on how Northrop Grumman and Airbus (shhhh) plan on building the Air Force's newest aerial refueler here in the good ole' US of A. For the sake of the multi-billion dollar contract and Aaron's sanity, we must stress this is a genuine American-made product. No proceeds of this contract containing US tax dollars will go to line the pockets of any socialistic European dignitaries bent on EU domination. I've read this is expected to bring $1 billion of economic activity to the Mobile, Alabama area. What I haven't heard is how much may actually float back across the pond. Video refers to aircraft as KC-30 as this video was produced prior to contract awarding and subsequent name change to KC-45.
