Former US Air Force acquisition chief Darleen Druyun has been given a nine-month prison sentence for conspiracy related to her improperly accepting a senior position at Boeing in 2003. The scandal has delayed the US Air Force's planned lease/purchase of 100 KC-767 tankers. In a surprise move, Druyun also confessed that she had acted improperly during the award of contracts to Boeing related to the USAF's C-130 avionics modernisation programme and NATO's E-3 airborne warning and control system upgrade.
