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?
The main difference between the "T" models and "plain" 135's is the engines capable of higher altitudes/speed and the ability to "dispense" a different fuel than they burn themselves. They can refuel just about anything depending what fuel they have on board.
Thanks for that, I thought they had been changed within the fuel tanks to be able to refuel the SR - 71 a while back? Thanks again.
He/she still wasn't operating in a A2A area tho, but probably just fast air refuelling.
