USAF KC-46 ex Avalon at NZCH

[Splitpin]

Another scoop from the lads...Chris this time. This guy arrived ex-Avalon via Amberly yesterday afternoon, apparently, a tech/crew stopover, due out later tonight.

Nice !!!!!! they look pretty subtle don't they, not too many wotsits hanging off them apart from that mighty phallic drogue

Thanks for looking chaps.
deeknow , you're right about the looks, a very peaceful-looking type. I've just heard it's still here (evidently), I'll have a man with cam out over the next 3 days, hopefully capturing some departure shots.

Interesting note: "The Air Force expects to buy at least 179 KC-46 airframes for $4.9 billion. They will not fully replace the 398 KC-135s the USAF currently employs in the aerial refueling role alongside 38 to 40 KC-10s. In fact, they'll represent just 40% of that force."
