French AF C-135FR display boom simulation refuelling during Friday display schedule, for 'Sky Tanker 100' theme. Weather was atrocious, though the FAF pilots braved through to provide what could be the last airbourne view of C-135FR, as these aircraft will start to be replaced by A330-300 AR tankers.
