Tanker update: little known company could cause stir
It has emerged that a little know aerospace company, NA KOA Aviation, has also filed a protest with the GAO over the award of the KC-X contract to NGC/EADS.
NA KOA has approached Boeing in 2006 about using 747-8 based tanker for the competition. Boeing rejected the offer.
The company told the GAO that Air Force officials told Boeing unofficially that they wanted a smaller tanker which lead to Boeing snubbing NA KOA’s proposal.
