Vulcan AAR

1066,

I was an instructor at STS during the first few months of AAR Training. According to my logbook we used Vulcan Tankers, mainly, in July '82.

I seem to remember that the Victors became overstretched and the Vulcan was pressed into service. It was an impressive shape to fly behind.

As far as I know, it was only used in training. I don't think any Hercs used the Vulcan 'down South'.
