Forgive my naivety, but is there really a market for civvy companies to deliver AAR/AT in such a capacity, AirTanker aside. Open to be corrected.
See: Omega Air Refueling !! They've been providing commercial AAR for far longer than has AirTanker.


Not just bread and butter tanking either, but kinda cutting-edge too. An Omega K-707 tanked the unmanned X-47B on April 22. First ever Autonomous (means - Not remote-piloted) UAV AAR - Probe and Drogue - Plugged in first go - connected 11 mins + and took on 4000lbs +. ...... AWST cover - May 11-24.refers.
