This has to be the best looking KC-135 currently in US Air Force service. Sadly, "Casey01" wasn't blessed with the best weather on arrival, with low cloud, rain and mist having blighted EDI all day. The aircraft belongs to the 412th Flight Test Squadron/412th Test Wing, based at Edwards AFB, California. Now retired and is displayed at Lackland AFB till October 2010
