KC-10 Heaven and an Ice clean too

Post by XWP29 » Sun Dec 10, 2017 5:23 pm

Some of the Grim Reapers were up for the Patch meet and by luck a chance to see the the "Ball" that arrived on Friday. Another great day guys even if it got a tad cold. C17 engine run gave us an expectation, alas unfulfilled. Good patch meet, several KC-10's, a visiting KC 135 and the Ice cleaner. :thumb: what more could you want.

Awesome shots Nick - I still want to know what the guys on the ground said to pee off the guy in the de-icer and for him to soak them :lol:

Hi Nick

A good record of the day, especially the de-icing, not something you often see pictured :thumbs:

That first KC10 shot is :Wow:

All the best
