Brazil to add third converted 767 tanker

Brazil is to sign a revised contract soon to add a third converted Boeing 767-300 tanker to its air force inventory, according to Israeli defence sources.

In March 2013, the Brazilian air force command selected Israel Aerospace Industries for the conversion of two commercial Boeing 767-300ERs, with options for an additional two.

These will replace the service’s four retired KC-137s (militarised Boeing 707s), which had been in use since 1986.
