USAF to take charge in new KC-X competition
Pentagon spokeswoman Cheryl Irwin on Thursday said the U.S. Air Force is expected to resume control over the KC-X program.

The Pentagon took control over the program last summer after protests by Boeing was successful.

Air Force Secretary Michael Donley told the Senate Armed Services Committee that current plans called for release of a draft request for proposals for 179 aerial refueling planes "within the next month or so," and awarding of a winner-take-all contract in the spring of 2010.
