[QUOTE="marauder2048, post: 310372, member: 10353"] Average airframe age is 12,000 hours vs. a design life of 13,000 hours. And I believe they are close to the maximum allowable number of cats/traps. Lockheed's proposed SLEP would bump operational life to 17,750 flight hours and an provide for an additional 1500 cats/traps. MITRE's unclassified Future Fleet Study from a year ago states that: " The Navy is considering procuring KV-22s, reactivating KS-3Bs, and procuring a tanking unmanned aerial system." [/QUOTE]
