These awesome flying machines don't live here any more. Their job is to refill other airplanes during flight. The nozzle, stinger, is visible near its tail. This day I paid a lot of attention to them as they seemed to fly and fly and fly.Now I know that was the day they moved across the country to South Carolina, and the whole fleet, but two, was in flight. Those two flew away on Friday with a proper military send-off.
They'd been part of our landscape, sky-scape, for more than thirty years.
I'm sorry to see them gone.
