Boeing says Air Force miscalculated tanker costs
This is the joke of the month, the U.S. Air Force concedes that it can't count properly. The Air Force has conceded that it made mistakes in calculating the lifecycle costs of the KC-30 and KC-767 and the Boeing offer was actually cheaper.
Originally, the Air Force calculated that it costs $108.01 billion to operate the KC-30 over its lifespan compared to $108.04 billion for the Boeing tanker.
Northrop Grumman said in a statement the 'minor errors should have no impact' in the GAO ruling on Boeing's protest of that award.
