Inflight tanker experience!

Mon Oct 17, 2016 2:47 pm

Hi all!

I have had a great opportunity to fly for a 7-hours mission aboard the Italian KC-767A Tanker.
I attach some pics, the full report it's available clicking on the link below (it's in Italian, sorry. Enjoy the photos!)
I hope you like it!
Have a nice day
Fabrizio

I just occurred to me, it's not uncommon to see photos of an aircraft being served by boom, but I don't recall seeing many hose and drogue connections like your second shot.

Lovely shots! Do you mind if I ask what camera/lens combination(s) you were using?

Cheers

Thank you very much.
For this session, I've used a Canon 5DMKIII with 24-105 f.4 L lens.
Have a nice day.

Hose and Drogue connections are more common with Naval Aviation A/C (For example US Navy Carrier based A/C).
