I believe it's a tanker specifically used for refuelling the SR - 71?? If that helps? It's certainly running a refuel orbit, but interestingly not in a designated A2A refuel route?
Is the SR-71 always in the air?
The SR-71 has been out of service for some time.
No. I was saying unless something else has replaced it, it's the only reason a 135T would be up there?

Maybe whatever has replaced it is up over that area, as that's the only reason a T would be doing?
They refuel many different kinds of aircraft. In this case, because of the short loops, I'd bet fighters.
I thought this was a T? as in KC 135T - and thought they were specially designed to refuel the SR-71 when in service. I don't know if the T specifically refuels any other air assets or if it's the normal KC -135 tankers?
