Boeing delivers 4th KC-767 Tanker to Japan

Last Friday, Boeing handed over the 4th & final KC-767 Tanker to the Japan Ministry of Defense, on schedule and within budget.  The first three tankers were delivered in February 2008, March 2008, and March 2009.  The KC-767 Tanker for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, based on the 767-200ER platform, is a convertible freighter variant, meaning that it can carry cargo or passengers along with its primary role as an aerial refueling tanker.  The KC-767 Tanker Japanese tanker is slightly different than the proposed KC-767 tanker being offered by Boeing for the U.S. Air Force's Tanker Replacement program.
