Great stuff! Really jealous about the RC and the Doomsday!

I'm expecting to see a certain forum member peek his head into this thread...

Nice pics! Looks like the KC10 stole the show as usual ;) Too bad it was a Travis jet; I actually was hoping McGuire would pick up the mission because I wanted to go out to this show.

That RC135 is the Cobra Ball - the entire right wing is painted black. It was originally done to eliminate glare from some of the equipment used on board (no longer an issue) but they continue to paint it black for tradition. Last time I was out at Offutt the E-4 was beating up the pattern - almost as cool as watching a DC10 do it!
