On most KC-135 tankers, the fuel system can either offload fuel to another airplane, or feed the airplane's own engines. When the SR-71 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft entered service, however, it burned a different fuel from regular jets, and so required KC-135 tankers with separate fuel storage. Tankers modified to fuel the SR-71 were designated KC-135Q. When the SR-71 was retired, these tankers underwent the same CFM-56 re-engine modification as the rest of the KC-135 fleet, and were redesignated KC-135T. I believe they are now no different operationally from the standard KC-135R.

Final approach to Nellis AFB.

Red Flag night missions present the additional challenge of low visibility, testing aircrew’s ability to execute the mission at any hour in a contested and degraded environment.

Jaws is a thriller with brilliant acting as well as action. One of my fave scenes is when Quint tells about sharks attacking after the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, the ship that delivered the atom bombs in WWII, that is just chilling. This is a classic movie we watch at the beginning of every summer to kick it off with a thrill. taken for our daily challenge - favorite movie
