That's a NATO Tanker, Kathy.

The latest variant of the KC-135. Itself Air Refuelable. With drogues and baskets instead of a single boom out the back.

It looks like two RAF Jaguars or Tornadoes attempting a hook-up. Two of those Tankers and an AWACS could keep a target area well saturated with fighters for the better part of a day.

Jack.
