Hey fellow IFC members, today I want to request a new variant of the Boeing 767. I thought this would be a wonderful addition to Infinite Flight because Aerial Refueling is confirmed for the KC10, so it can also be on the KC-46A Pegasus.
Overview
The Boeing KC-46 Pegasus is a military aerial refueling and strategic military transport aircraft developed by Boeing from its 767 jet airliner. In February 2011, the tanker was selected by the United States Air Force (USAF) as the winner in the KC-X tanker competition to replace older KC-135 Stratotankers. The first 18 combat-ready aircraft are scheduled to be delivered to the U.S. Air Force in early 2018 under the terms of the development contract.
