The AP recently hitched a ride aboard a KC-135 tanker, an aging plane the Air Force wants to replace. But the effort has turned into a political tussle with competing manufacturers. For now, the 50-year-old fleet soldiers on. (April 5)

  • @pyromcr if by soon you mean 20 years from now

  • what do ya think people......KC787? cool right? lol

  • @stuntmanmike37 I saw a lot of cool stuff back in days of old SAC and MAC, Mike. However, what you are going to see in the future of your young life is going to blow your mind....IMHO, you are in the right place, doing the right thing.. be well.

  • @stellarblue51 Oh, wow. I only got six years in yet. I actually had the opportunity to see the last C-141 fly for the last time. Pretty awesome. I wish I had been around for the good old SAC days.

  • @stuntmanmike37 Well, I started out on BUFFs, but the farce kicked me from SAC to MAC. Wound up being a crew chief (AFSC 426Z2) on a new C-141 in 1964. Yep, I am gettin old. Don't let your blue suit get shiny.

  • Aw, it can't be that bad. You should hear the dumb ass things our pilots say sometimes. Lol. -Mike 2A551L Crew Chief.

  • @stuntmanmike37 I am so ashamed, that I won't say what my Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) was!

  • @stellarblue51 My pleasure. ;)

  • @stuntmanmike37 great answer, thanks.
