Glenn,

At the risk of sounding even more googly-eyed than the lens used for
this photo - do you have any more, err... 'normal' photos of this
rather unusual
bird? (Even though you ~did~ include the wing tips... ;^} )

Just haven't seen many photos of the RSAF Stratotankers.

Thanks scads,

And a funny story about this photo. I had a wide lens and i needed to
get in pretty close to
fill the feame. I was almost directly under teh nose. I spent about
2-3 minutes there while I waited for a guy to walk out of view.
Then the Pilot came up and started chatting about what typr of shot I
was getting. i showed him, and he was impressed with the angle.
He even chatted to some of the crew about it. Then he gave me a pin as
a momento. Then when I had finished I turned around and saw
a pack of about 60 photographers waiting for me to move to take a
photo. Not one of them moved away from the pack which easily was 30
feet aweay from where I was.
Some cursed at me for being in their way. I kind of felt sorry that i
had done that to them but I had no idea they were there but I remember
wondering what the value was of 60 plus photographers taking the same
shot.

At least I know my view was different

I hate it when I discover I have umwittingly become exactly what I have
been cursing others for at an air show...
