KC-10A was refuelling the KC-135R
Currently all KC-135R/T models (Receiver capable) are with the 22nd Air Refueling Wing at McConnell AFB, KS. Most of these are used for force extension and Special Operations missions, and are crewed by highly qualified receiver capable crews. If not used for the receiver mission, these aircraft can be flown just like any other KC-135R.

Didn't think the majority of 135's have a UAARSI to be refuelled. Was it definately 10 refuelling a 135 or might it have been the other way around ? 135 refuelling a 10 is quite common (I'm off to try it in about 6hrs myself...)

DIFF,

Very true. Should have specified that I was talking about Tanker AR for the 10 there. ATS works well in Rx AR up to .5 of a mile though You have a PM too.
