Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA, KIWA, IWA) "Willie"

[Joe Copalman]

Solid set of shots, Jeff, but where's this variety you speak of?  All I see are tankers. 

Love that the crew still had the landing lights on for your nose-on shot.  Very cool detail we weren't treated to yesterday.

FELIX ONE-ONE

Can any of you Air Force experts tell me why a lot of refueling aircraft seem to have two wing numbers on them?

[Joe Copalman]

They switch-hit for Active-Duty and Reserve wings.

Thanks James! The very nice shots previously posted of the P2Vs inspired me to have a crack at it.

OLD SCHOOL HERK

Does anybody have a clear enough photo of Tanker 44 to read what it says on the side of the nose? I think it says "[something] Four X Four," but I'm not sure.
