Boeing May Land $2.4 Billion Military Tanker Sale to Israel

From the day it was announced, Boeing's (NYSE: BA) KC-46A military aerial refueling tanker contract has encountered criticism. It's been criticized for being behind schedule, over budget, and even plagued by manufacturing defects. (And not for nothing, but way back at the beginning I pointed out that it wasn't going to make much money for Boeing).

But that doesn't mean no one likes the KC-46. Turns out, the tanker is very popular indeed ... in Israel.
