Ah yes. The “Fourth ‘first’ KC-46 squadron commander”

The program was delayed so much that the last three 344 ARS/CCs before him were all supposed to be the first KC-46 Sq/CCs but never saw the jet.

Rumor has it that there was a picture of him accepting a jet in their auditorium. That picture of him left McConnell soon after he departed McConnell.

Thenewgazmo,

 It’s a bright new shiny toy, plus a perfect leadin for the airlines. Of course there is going to be a line to fly it. Same as there was a line to fly 135’s back in the late 50’s and even Buffs, when they were new.

The weird thing is, from what I see, is that studs aren't putting it at the top. I see way more kids putting AFSOC stuff up there.

Meaning he wasn’t liked?

Pretty cool educated guess of the B-21's design features. Doesn't look like there's much room in the crew compartment for even a piss can. That's a lot of piddle packs over a 30 hour sortie...
