Title: KC135 Tankers
Post by roy21302 on Aug 30^th, 2006, 2:30pm

Just been watching the local evenning news over here and there was a bit on there about RAF MILDENHALL, Suffolk. They had a film clip showing celebrations held at the base to mark the fact that the KC135 has been in service for 50 years, it showed some good air shot of refueling and of various type of fighters it services. Thought this might interest some of you ex USAF types. I only live a short distants from the base and go there often to watch the plane with my Grandson---Cheers Roy ;;D

Cool. First engines I worked on in the AF at McClellan AFB CA. Went to fighters after that.

These are the same kind of airplanes that our very own DJ works on.
