I think you might be correct there.. I made this 767-8 sketch years ago.
On a KC135 AWACS replacement, I think the 767 GENX based platform would offer a lot in commonality, capability and 50 yr flexibility/ growth perspective. How an antenna would look, probably not a random..
The NMA seems off the table unfortunately, the MAX looks weaker every day, the carbon 787 seems way to big/ complicated.
I can see US government doing a "strategic", investment in Boeing soon, to "level the playing field" or so
