I really don't get what makes it so hard to build some tankers for Boeing? They have built tankers by the hundreds and good ones.(Same goes for Airbus and the A400M).
These are expensive programs and they still don't seem to work smooth. Why?

I think that the planes do work now, this time it's down to the flying boom and the Cobham hose and drouge wing pods !
