This is a wake-up call for Boeing. They can't expect to win the major competitions just because they're an American company. Their product has to be at least almost as good as the competition's. In this case, it wasn't even close. Boeing lost on 4 out of the 5 criteria. If Boeing ever wants to get back into this market, they'll have to develop a tanker based on a newer airframe. For many years to come, however, Airbus will own the tanker market wordwide.
