Jack Sexton, your comments are highly accurate & reflect my understanding also. I flew for Minden Aviation a few years ago, seems they went out of business during the contracting with Neptune.  I called & wrote The White House & my two Nevada Senators regarding Global Supertanker & not having approval.About three days later they received the current 17 month approval, but NO contract.  Seems the political games continue on ! Thanks for your great comments sir !
