KC-767 being delivered

Yes, the KC-767 is being built and delivered to customers. Oh, not the US Air Force, we can't replace our 40 to 50 year old KC-135's, after all, they haven't dropped out of the sky on a school yet so our fearless leaders think we can keep flying them.

Who cares if the airframes have so much time on them they are not safe (the FAA would ground the entire KC-135 fleet if it was a passenger airline instead of military) due to the amount of time the planes have flown.

But the Japanese and the Italians are getting their new tankers and who knows maybe we can get some new ones before 2040.

Modern planes and engines, which can fly farther, carry more and use less fuel, yeah, that's not important to our Air Force who is operating more of its planes from the US then from foreign bases.

Gotta love our "leaders" don't you?
