Lovely stuff mate, that C-146 & the AK KC-135 are particularly nice catches

Really interesting shots Jon. Good to see both Travis and McGuire KC-10A's and that Polar Bear on the Alaska KC-135R is great, particularly when you see a close up of the design, which is very cleverly faceted.

Do we have a model and paints for the C-146 Wolfhound, or is that something I could usefully do? The USAF has 20 from what I have read so far.

John,
There is for the C-146 using the JBAI Do328-100 model from the Cannon AFB, NM MAIW package. I used scramble to put the rest of the tails in and updated flightplans. As these are AF Special Ops birds, not always easy to find them.

Thanks Chris, I'll leave that one then.
