It appears that a French Air Force tanker is supplying the go-go juice.

the tanks are not BLK specific, they bought 48 BLK 52/C/D versions 2003-2006 replacing Mig-21s and Su-22s

the tanks can be bolted on and off

The words on the probe read:

Yep, it is - a French KC-135 Stratotanker.

We haven’t got our own ones. Yet.

I was wondering if they also bought some KC135s.That would have been something to see.

I still think the F-16 is simply one the best looking airplanes ever to fly. Classic lines. I’d put it up there on the same shelf with the P-51 and the Spitfire.

They must read FR. That used to be my tagline.
