I wonder how many air refuels it takes. Either 2 or 4.

Yes!! That makes it even cooler!! I would have loved it if they called it the “Batplane”

When I was a kid I was a Batman fanatic, this was in ancient times in the 1960s when they had the Batman show with Adam West in glorious black and white TV and my mom got me a Batman costume for my birthday and I would run up and down the street in Bayside New York city run into people because I couldn’t see where I was going with the mask on lol. I must have been around 5 and people would actually say “Look it’s Batman!” which got me more into it

It crashed and the pilot died about 10-12 years back three miles from me in Ontario CA. It was based at the Chino Airport which is a mile from me.

And the one that crashed during takeoff from Guam (which was the reason why the island didn’t tip over)...

LOL! That never gets old.
