JSF Tanker?
Can the Navy version of the JSF be configured as a tanker?
Say replace the gun pod with a drogue pod and then load up either the bomb bay or the wing hardpoints with fuel tanks until you hit 50,000 pounds. Is this being considered? How much fuel would this provide? And would it carry more fuel than the Super Hornet tanker? -HJC
