Looks like they've all been busy with their Gatlings. Reminds me of the song which includes the line "they're American planes, smoking and non-smoking". Your side-on portraits of the Lagrs are well-caught with the backlight.

Nice set Bollo. Has all the taxying been via Alpha on the north side or crossing on Charlie to Bravo as the Spangs did last year? Hoping to get there next week.

Excellent lighting, particularly on the KC-135s.

The Wing/Squadron take good care of them: they still look "new out of the box", not about sixty years old.
