The Boeing 767: An Unlikely Port in the Current Storm
Boeing has been building the 767 for four decades: an incredibly long time for a single generation of a commercial jet. In theory, it ought to be obsolete: Boeing and top rival Airbus have each introduced multiple new wide-body jet models since the 767 entered service in 1982. Yet despite the model's age, the 767 is still going strong, with a steady stream of orders and deliveries.

Makes you wonder why the military selected an older model that will be out of production once they've been delivered. Couldn't they have select a 777 or 787 ?
Had an old friend that designed airplanes who told me the L1011 or/ MD80 was best suited for a tanker!
Load cap. and design much better than ANY other aircraft at the time!

Sure, but, what about replacement parts after the planes are out of production for a long time?
I am sure the USAF thought about that. They have a lot of experience flying long out of production aircraft such as the KC-135, B-52, B-1, B-2, KC-10, C-5, T-38, and others.
