The aircraft as a whole though, has achieved...

Still plenty of real-estate at Mobile, Alabama should the USAF decide on some 'interim tankers'.

Simultaneously feeding 8 aircraft seems a bit of a stretch too. Presumably that means 8 booms and 8 boom operators? 4 booms on each wing perhaps?

School yard bickering on Pprune aside, it seems Airbus and Boeing share a key issue: the development of great aircraft hindered by management agendas.

How far beyond the aircraft structure does that boom extend?

Interesting to see if there are any associated pitch/boomstrike issues at takeoff and landing.

Considering the first A330 MRTT was handed over to the launch customer in June 2011 - had Airbus won, the USAF could have a handful of KC-45s flying already.

Regards the 12,000 / 13,000 / 10,000 runway argument. I'm pretty sure the A330 MRTT can manage the 12,000 or 13,000 runways too.
