A small note here, Airbus has never built a tanker.


Except for the Luftwaffe tankers it is currently building (IIRC first
flight was a couple of months ago), and the Canadian conversions to
transport/tanker that are on order.


There is a difference between "building" and "built".


Read the links I quoted yesterday, everything is written there.

10+27 "August Euler" is finished and in testing phase, it will be
delivered next month.

Are the LW planes boom or probe/basket ??


Both, the "hose and drogue" on the wingtips, the boom option in the
center body has been cancelled on the LW birds - but is still an
option. Perhaps the Canadian version ("Polaris") will have it?

The system has been delivered by Flight Refueling Ltd. (Cobham).
