For all you buffs out there, arrived in CNS last week to see a DC10 and B707 parked off bay in "Omega Tanker" livery. Have just done some curious research and learned they are inflight refuellers for the US Defence Force, amazing pics on their website. I can only assume the are linked to Guam but I could be wrong. I looked over the DC10 and noticed pax windows still in place. I'm no exepert but usually cargo or in this case specially adapted types of aircraft have no need for that. Any idea as to why they were here? It was a very impressive sight to see a DC10 and B707 at Cairns. I can understand maybe one landing here but both aircraft? They only have a small fleet. Very interested in this.
