Interesting that the tanker is labelled "US Air Forces" - would this have
been common at some time ?

Thanks for posting this pic. I recall witnessing a formation
of F-82s near Carswell as stated in a previous B-36 thread.
According to Wikipedia they were retired in 1953, which
would mean that at best I was less than 3 years old. Thanks
for substantiating my recollection.

I wonder if that is a contractors vehicle. It looks like maybe they left
the apostrophe out and it shows the possessive of whatever the line
underneath says. But shouldn't it be USA Air Force anyway ?

Hasn't it always been the USAF?

I know there has been a disparaging remark about wikipedia in this group,
but I will stick with a authority that knows the difference between Man O'
War, Man o' War, and Manowar, and has an article about Summer Cummings!!
