And a 135 has been spotted too. https://www.flickr.com/photos/adraf/527 ... 659361170/
Re: USAF AMC to remove tail numbers.
The current and slightly deranged commander of AMC wants to be able to launch UAVs from tankers including the KC-135.
You want the Aladeen news, or the Aladeen news?

Less people at the viewing areas?

There's no "go-round" in a glider.

So no nose art and no 'square 'D' at Mildenhall then. Grim!

Wonder if they remove all of the marking from the line ups at AMARG too!

Re: USAF AMC to remove tail numbers.
James Cutting + 1 Never did numbers anyway, but I do understand how some may feel about this. But we can still see them flying, which is what matters more than numbers, surely.

Whoaaaa hang on, I only just got the gig!

Re: USAF AMC to remove tail numbers.
Ah well, even if the USAF AMC wouldnβt be carrying serials anymore, there are plenty of aircraft that still do.
So, as the famous Lance Corporal Jones βonceβ said:
Donβt Panic!

Sadly, it now seems that "Esprit de Corps" will be a relic of the past. 

Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.
Re: USAF AMC to remove tail numbers.
The KC-135 photographed above still has a TDB on the nose.
You just need a very good telescope/camera lens!!

Re: USAF AMC to remove tail numbers.
I'm surprised its taken this long!
The guy in charge of AMC is extremely gung ho and itching for a fight with someone. I do belive there is a thread on here or a video on You Tube about him (Ward Carol's channel). I do get the impression he's a complete nut job!
An internal memo from General Michael Minihan, USAF, leader of the Air Mobility Command, which predicts the U.S. will go to war with China in 2025, was recently leaked and has caused quite a stir on social media and with the mainstream media. Retired U.S. Navy Commander Bryan McGrath joins Ward to analyze the memo and resonant concerns it has caused.
