Delta Sim again. Very much an external model for me. The internals are a bit odd...but I cant complain about the price or variety.

Stunning shots. The USAF RC-135 is gorgeous ..the sharkmouth sets it off.
The RAF 51 Squadron one looks great as well...not sure if they still call them Air Seeker now or not, and the KC-135R....it's big, grey and beautiful.

CFM-56, four of.
I reckon they look so much better on the plane than the skinny old ones.
In other news:
The B-52 re-engine programme is underway: one for one replacement of the 8 onboard with RR F130.
Less smoke, less fuel, essentially the ones used on USAF Gulfstream lookalike, the C-37.
Thousands of hours on them to date, they reckon they will outlive the BUFF.
MSFS has one but better to wait a little, I believe.
