John McCain raises questions on Air Force tanker contest between Boeing and Northrop

U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., wants answers from the Pentagon on how it intends to pick a winner for the U.S. Air Force tanker contract.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. on Air Force tanker program: “I am keenly interested in ensuring that the source selection in this program is subjected to proper and effective oversight from the start.”McCain, a key player in the Air Force’s decade-long tanker saga, laid out a detailed list of concerns in an Oct. 29 letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates. A copy of the 2-page letter was obtained by the Press-Register.

McCain, the Republican Party’s nominee for president in last year’s election, raised a series of questions about the Air Force’s proposed guidelines for selecting a new aircraft to replace its aging fleet of KC-135 Stratotankers.
