Re: Nikon z zoom lenses for aviation?

I have both the Z100-400 and the Z180-600, both used with my Z9's. Both lenses are very fast, and remember in the Z Cameras, the focus now takes place on the camera sensor rather than the lens. If you can afford to get the Z100-400 then I would suggest, as it is an S line lens and has a faster apert...

Re: Airtanker operations

If MOD trooping flights are using chartered airlines it is possible that Airtanker are covering the cost. In this crazy world probably cheaper to use the charter than run their own A330's If MOD has the requirment outside of the contracted AirTanker aircraft, then MOD pay for the additional charters.

Were the 4 used as passenger transports ever converted to MRTT spec or do they remain pure A330-200?
All 14 Aircraft have been converted, and all have the ability to be turned back into Tankers.
