US Air Force to review 'significant errors' in tanker deal WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US Air Force said Wednesday it would review congressional investigators' claims there were "significant errors" in how it awarded a huge aerial refueling tanker contract to Northrop Grumman.   Source:(AFP)   2008-06-18 Auditors sustain Boeing tanker protest WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. auditors urged the Air Force Wednesday to rerun its marathon, $35 billion competition for refueling aircraft, upholding a protest by losing bidder Boeing Co (BA.N).   People:John McCain   Source:(Reuters)   2008-06-18 Chile Mourns a Heroic Pilot The last thing Nelson Bahamondes saw before he died was a landscape of snow, mist and the lush vegetation of his native Patagonia. Then, the 65-year-old father of three slipped into a deep sleep cradled in the arms of a man whose life he'd saved, never to wake again. Bahamondes' death was a tragic moment in a remarkable story that has gripped Chile over the past week - a tale of sacrifice, stoicism, comradeship and, ultimately, of survival and hope.   Nations:Chile   Source:(Time)   2008-06-15 A New Leader for a New Air Force In the 35 years following its 1947 creation, bomber pilots - think of the cigar-chomping Curtis LeMay - largely ran the U.S. Air Force. That changed starting in 1982, when an unbroken chain of nine fighter-pilots-turned-four-star-generals took charge. Which is why Monday's announcement that Defense Secretary Robert Gates was tapping General Norton Schwartz, currently running the Pentagon's globe-girdling transportation network on land, air and sea, to be the beleaguered service's 19th chief of staff, meant more than your average military promotion.   People:Robert Gates   Source:(Time)   2008-06-11 Gates picks new leadership for Air Force Defense Secretary Robert Gates named new top civilian and military leaders for the U.S. Air Force on Monday as part of a shake-up triggered by mistakes in handling nuclear weapons and parts.   People:Robert Gates George W.
