I was a Boomer on a KC135 out of Niagara Air Base and it was the best job I ever had in my life! I wish I could have refueled on this baby! Best of luck to all you cats on this new tanker and God Speed!
Good to see that it's got the pods for the drogue system too. So it can help the Navy when they need it.
It amazes me every time how they manage to latch onto the pipe. Very nice flying.
CMSGT Sean Martin is the perfect person to lead the Air Refueling Operator team. I thoroughly enjoyed flying with him, while we were members of the 77th air Refueling Squadron at Seymour Johnson AFB, NC. I could only wish to have had the career he's had. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the KC-46 going to Seymour HOPEFULLY!Carl Sisco, TSgt USAFR Retired
Awesome video! The importance of tanker has never been so great. Congrats to all that were involved in building this plane :D
Makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
Can't wait to see these at Macdill AFB!
the boom looks just like the one McDonnell Douglas designed for the KC-10. It is a much better boom than Boeing made for the '135.
Es impresionante.
Good job!
When the boom is stowed, does the APU exhaust heat up the boom?
It must be modified the long tail fin into a twin tail fin. More flight stability, less weigh.
Perfector
can't wait to see it at it's depot home at Tinker AFB.

Very exciting. What's this plane based on? Is this a 767 variant?

What happens if the f 16 are doing an air strike on Isis and need fuel but Isis then shoots the tanker down?

+Kyle The Pro the tankers don't fly directly over combat zones. They do circles out in the safety of controlled airspace and the fighters/bombers fly back and forth between them.
A dark gray military plane full of fuel and without any windows, where have I seen that before...........
What is so special about this aerial refueling?

This is the first aerial refuelling for this type of aircraft.

They should have used the new 787 as the new American tanker. Makes no sense to use the older and less efficient 767.

It does. The 767 is not in production so they don't have to make a whole new production line or make a 767 shell and move it to be fitted to military specs. The 787 still has a 7+ year back log so you don't want to make a production line for the same plane but military spec or take planes off the airliner line so you can get rid of that backlog.
Yay...in the loosest form of the word.

Oupty doo. After billions of dollars spent they managed to pump gas through the pipe from a converted airliner, over budget and behind schedule. I'm not impressed. And these guys wanted the LRSB project based on their cost management. LOL...

Why don't you go ahead and retrofit a airliner to military specs which are much higher than civilian specs, which are changing a lot, while managing a multi billion dollar company. Good luck with that

The_Communist_ Texan I am not a multi billion mega company with dozens of years of experience and money. They were over budget for fairly simple design, and they hopped to get LRSB contract based on "cost cutting".. Buhaha
