Meanwhile, whilst Boeing still cannot their $hit in the right sock for a handful of Italian AF 767 tankers (which are far from the KC-767 spec), the A310MRTT and CC150T go from strength to strength. A310MRTT has more than met its design spec targets - those living on the west coast of the US can watch an A310 trailing fast jets from Eilsen to Holloman in the next few days, for example....

The RAAF's KC-30B program also goes well - and yet another prospective A330 tanker customer has recently been on a fact-finding mission.

Boeing, your Frankentanker is totally outclassed in every respect. Time to stop moaning, dry your eyes and concentrate your efforts on trying to get your 7-late-7 fit for flight, I would suggest!
