No further delay for U.S. Air Force tanker: "The U.S. Air Force won't further delay the award date for its $40 billion air tanker contract, a U.S. official said.
Gen. Norton Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff, said he would be 'very, very surprised' if the contract award date would be postponed beyond the current mid-November deadline, Defensenews.com reports.
'We're going to come in when we say we are,' Schwartz said."
