No Sir, only the US !!!

One question. Please name one aerospace manufacturer (other than Boeing)
that has successfully built an aircraft utilizing a flying boom.

Can we count the KC-10 Extender from MacAir? Or the Airbus tankers
sold to other countries?

Funny thing. Bo(e)ing doesn't consider the KC-10 too big for the
mission. Wonder why that is....

Well d'uh....
Thank you Miiiister Obvious.
The question is:

Why doesn't Bo(e)ing criticize the KC-10?
Yeah its out of production but it would then need replacement
as well.

Bo(e)ing has no one to blame but themselves for losing this
competition.
