allegedly uttered:

It is also the only airframe the USAF could buy if they need any more
AWACS
in the next five years.

Why, when AWACS solutions are currently being built on 767, 737,
Il-76, P3, and the Embraer version which Brazil is taking? And since
the USAF has no need for an AWACS replacement, the point is moot,
although the 767 has been selected for the M2C2A (If I got that one
right).


Close. It's the MC2A or the E-10, whichever you prefer. And the basic idea
is a one airframe replacement for the E-3 AWACS, E-8 JointSTARS, and the
EC-135 Rivet Joint. My personal opinion is "good friggin' luck".
