Book excerpt: The Air Force wishes to replace its KC-135E aircraft by leasing 100 new Boeing KC-767 tankers. The Air Force indicates that leasing is preferred because it will result in faster deliveries than outright purchasing. Air Force leaders argue that a lease will allow them to husband scarce procurement dollars by making a small down payment. Although Congress authorized the proposed lease in the FY2002 DOD Appropriations Act, it stipulated that the defense oversight committees must approve the lease only the Senate Armed Services Committee has yet to approve. The lease proposal has been controversial and issues raised thus far include: Whether there is an urgent need to replace the KC-135-135 fleet. The Air Force states that replacing the KC-135 is urgent, citing high costs, aircraft vulnerability to catastrophic problems, and the imminent closing of the 767 production line. Opponents of the lease state that operating costs are controllable and will be far lower than the overall costs of leasing the 767; that the vulnerability is no more than depicted in a 2-year old study which the Air Force found acceptable; and that the 767 production line is viable until 2006-2008. Whether the KC-767 is the right airplane. If acquired, the KC-767 may be in DoD's inventory for 50 years. The Air Force says that the KC-767 is much more capable than the KC-135. Opponents say that other aircraft are even better than the KC-767 in meeting the Air Force's requirements. The Air Force opposes re-engining KC-135Es, but opponents say it merits attention, as does outsourcing aerial refueling.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Air Force Tanker Lease Proposal: Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives Leasing an aircraft is, to some degree, like leasing a car. Upfront leasing costs are lower than for a purchase and would reduce the impact Of currently budgeted programs. But, over the long-term leasing will cost more. In this case the Air Force tells us that leased costs for the 100 Boeing 767 tankers could be 1 to 11 per cent more expensive than a purchase depending upon assumptions used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the Air Force's plan to replace a portion of its KC-135 aerial refueling tanker fleet with leased Boeing 767 aircraft. It also assesses aerial refueling tanker requirements; the cost-effectiveness of different options (lease, purchase, modify, or extend the service life of the fleet); the policy for leasing major defense acquisition programs; the costs associated with infrastructure improvements; and the depot maintenance backlog. Recognizing that the full extent of this analysis could not be done before the terms of the lease were negotiated, you asked that we provide the preliminary results of our efforts by May 15, 2002.

Book excerpt: The proposed lease of the KC-767 tanker aircraft was one of the most infamous procurement scandals of the post-Cold War era. Interactions within the military-industrial-congressional complex led to legislation permitting the Air Force to lease tankers from Boeing using an operating lease rather than standard procurement. Following the outcry from Congress, industry, the media, and numerous watchdog groups, Congress and the Department of Defense (DOD) launched a wave of investigations and hearings. During the lease debate, participants reached a number of compromises documented in congressional legislation. However, this was not sufficient to continue the lease process. After nearly 4 years, Congress cancelled the tanker lease and directed the Air Force to pursue a traditional procurement approach.
