Thanks a lot everyone - for many years I wonderred what happened to the "missing" Boeing, never having heard the tanker reffered to as a 717. Then suddenly it appears, and not looking like a machine of the 707/727 era!
Pity they "dumped" the MD-11, I flew in them a few times and thought (from a pax point of wiew) that it was a lovely aircraft. Still, I suppose it did compete fairly closely with the 747
Now we have to wait for the 797, to see what that comes up with
