Maybe some honest accountant can
put a real honest appraisal on the deal minus all the heat and
bloviation and BS. But let's do something before the airframes start
falling apart - as they will if we keep muddling along. just like the
KB50s, B47s, F86s, A26s, C130s, F105s and F4s did.

Noise regulations put some pretty harsh restrictions on where 707s can go
and that led directly to there becomming beer cans. Buying a lift fairy for
a KC-135 can get pretty expensive in that market.

Or, hell, we can
save a lot of money by just flying what we got and paying survivor
benefits as needed. (That's 'irony', in case you missed English 102.)

Sarcasim.
