The U.S. Air Force will take its first delivery this month of the long-delayed KC-46 aerial refueling tanker made by Boeing Co , people familiar with the process said. Final paperwork has been moving through the Pentagon's chain of command in recent days, signaling that government concerns about the problem-plagued jet have been addressed after a multi-year delay, the people said. The delays and fixes for the program has been costly for Boeing, which recorded $176 million in additional charges on the KC-46 tanker in the third quarter alone.
