Pepo is from a book, which I don't recall. AIRH is Airhistory. FB is Facebook. Since I usually get 100 or more at a time, I don't always recall. From now on it will be the net since many on here don't list any source at all. Please make sure you express your concern to others. Thanks!

Like the aircraft carrier until you actually get next to it. I have only ever seen one and it was the biggest thing I have even seen(bigger than Mrs. Beach, my Spanish teacher)!!

The XF-85, perhaps not the oddest looking aircraft ever built for the USAF, but certainly in the top 10.

I don't think that capability was introduced (multi point refueling pods) until sometime in the 2000s. My last data was only two squadrons had them but think that's changing.

I would agree. I worked tankers (135's) most of my 20 years and when I retired in 97 they didn't have them. I didn't see the on a 135 until 2004 at an air show in Ft Worth.
