Sooooo, let's say that plane is being painted in the scheme of a KC-135 tanker and we get a glimpse of it nosing into say.......a Chinese carrier or say ...a Chinese tanker. In the Malacca straits half the worlds oil that travels by tanker goes through there. A third of the worlds shipping. Chinese nationals on the 777, China being beliggerent about its influence in the area, China may see an opportunity to show some muscle while we are concentrating on apologizing for a military tanker taking out a Chinese warship......all this while Russia takes the Ukraine without taking a shot....think fellers....what an opportunity for China...
Nav, or eminence , correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the 777 have the same basic outline of a KC-135??
