Need a drink?

A little air refueling practice today. No, I wasn't at the stick during this contact, I was in the back. I wouldn't take pictures while in this close proximity with another jet. Below the AR is a great view of another C-17 on approach to land. You don't get a birdseye view of a landing too often. Sorry for the quality, they're from my phone through a dirty window with turbulence...

By the way, this was taken at Altus AFB, OK (KLTS on the watch). I'm here for some training. Those are KC-135s in the background...air refueling tankers.

Those Stratotankers are very cool indeed.

Have any of the KC-X / KC-46A (B767 derivatives, IIRC) tankers been rolled out yet?

As always, cool shots, TexZan. Keep em coming.

Great pictures Tex... really cool stuff.... so how many Airfields have you racked up now?

A few answers:
Noodle, nope, they're not around yet. In fact, I prefer the KC-135 to the newer KC-10 just because of the size of our jet. It's 1000x easier to get gas from the 135...

Alistair, I've gotten ten total, but only five since getting the watch. Unfortunately I have a decent amount of stateside training over the coming months so I don't know how many more I'll get in the near future.
