So that's going to take around 5 years to clear the backlog of 61?! Surely not...
Probably not in actuality. The goal was to keep the line moving until the final KC-X RFP is awarded. If Boeing wins it and production is funded, I expect the line will increase production depending on the delivery needs for the USAF. They still have to convert the line to ITAR (Weapons Trafficking) regulations which will require a temporary shutdown.
