E-10 isn't the tanker.

KC-767 (762ER) lost to KC-45 (A332) for the USAF aerial refueling competition thingy

So the OP was half right then?

Yes sorry if there was any confusion there chaps . Torins link will tell you all about the E-10 and he was also right in correcting that Japan and Italy also have taken delivery of some of their 762 tankers. Japan currently has a yellow primer 762 tanker frame up at PAE which should fly in the next week or so.
I can post a photo of one of Italy's tankers if required/wanted ???

Hey Mori, soggy but good. Snow today and we're in spring !!!!!

E-10 is designed to replace the E-8C Joint STARS 707s, although funding has been slowed to a trickle in recent years.

A big canoe fairing will be added under the forward fuselage to carry a big SAR radar antenna.

Next Japanese tanker first flight was today.
