Do I see some early arrivals for the Gunfighter Flag exercise in those shots?

Yes it is an IL-76 fuselage; however it has been modified into a tanker and is called an IL-78MKI. It has three drogue baskets – one on each wing, and one attached to the center fuselage on the left side.

Almost every aircraft has a letter designator painted on the bottom of the fuselage. I believe it is from their deployment to Afghanistan back in 2007-2008. I can tell you that
90-00316 is “O”,
90-00318 is “H”,
90-00329 is “B”,
90-00340 is “G”,
90-00298 is “F”,
89-00201 has Wings with a Skull (i have a horrible picture of it), and
90-00479 doesn’t have one because it is a new bird to the squadron that they got last fall.
