Production issues halt deliveries of Boeing KC-46 tankers

The U.S. Air Force has stopped taking deliveries of the Boeing Co.’s new KC-46 Pegasus tankers due to issues with the company's production of the aircraft. The Seattle Times first reported on Thursday that test flights from Boeing's production line had been halted for the last week and that deliveries of 767-based aircraft had stopped due to tools and other items being left behind on the planes as they exited the factory.
