Frisbee Tankers

[Legoman2]

Current deployment of tankers are Kc's of the 117 ARS / 190 ARW / Kansas ANG

Although the weather was not looking to be very sunny I wanted to take the change and I was not disappointed



and the second an hour later



with this on trailing

Frisbee? Where?

[Legoman2]

Oh sorry Geilenkirchen / ETNG by some otherwise known as frisbee

[Supra]

Assuming 'Frisbee' is a reference to the rotodome on top of the AWACS based there at Geilenkirchen, Germany. Easily makes as much sense as my son calling it the 'Smartie Plane' after some UK. confectionery whose shape matches the rotadome!
Either way, great to see those shots as I had spotted that 10266 special marks was tanking the AWACS on Wednesday 28th.

It's their ATC callsign as well.

Definitely a worthwhile visit, despite the weather! I love the tail marking on the Stratotanker!

Great tail markings on that Kansas ANG Stratotanker - very nice indeed.
