In 2002, the Air Force negotiated a $23bn deal with Boeing for 100 tankers to be based on the Boeing 767.
But that deal was declared invalid after allegations of fraud.
Two Boeing executives went to jail and eventually Boeing's chief executive resigned.
Political pressure on the Air Force over the deal was led by Sen John McCain, the front-runner to win the Republican nomination for the presidential elections this year.
