The 1st plane is an KC-135 (Boeing 707) from Grissom ARB, Indiana. I live very close to Grissom and it's not uncommon for them to overfly my town at a few thousand feet just to rattle the dishes a little! It's hard to believe these aircraft are 50 years old...
*MONDAY AUGUST 24 2020 10:28 AM CDT* Well first I want to say that I am sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to lose a parent. I lost both of my parents. Secondly, I rode in a KC-10 coming from Portugal heading back to the USA, back in 1991. It was my first time on one. Tony 60-year-old Black Air Force VET 🇺🇸✈
@FSXGuy1 Canon Vixia HG21. ( a little soft contrast used to help get rid of the heatwaves) Also if you want check my channel page for updated info on what i use. Thanks for watching.
I received permission to go to the C-141 cockpit coming back from REFORGER '79. It was awesome, the Flight Computer was the size of a refrigerator! :-) I still remember looking down on the Blue ocean at dawn with the sharp white reflections of the Icebergs floating majestically...
@lennylovesit The KC-10 Extender is a military version of the DC-10-30 for aerial refueling made by McDonnell Douglas and Boeing made the KC-135 stratotanker
a340 has a newer version of the cfm-56 and is a much larger aircraft than the kc-135...so by perspective they look smaller....accessory pack aka hydraulic pumps, generator, etc are on the bottom of the engine on the 135...where as other versions they're off to the side like on the 737, which explains their flat bottom on the cowling vs the rounded off cowling on the 135
Is that a McGuire KC-10? I worked with them along with the now retired 141 and C-17. After a long night shift, I always contemplated taking a nap in the hanging bunks behind the passenger seats haha.
Great to see this, thaks for posting! Was really interested to see no Kreuger flaps, and only one leading edge slat open on each wing on the KC 135. I've never seen that before. I wonder if they're discretionary to wind/ atmospherics/altitude conditions. Once again, Thanks!
There are about a dozen KC135's modified to receive gas inflight, but the majority of the fleet cannot take on gas like the KC-10 can , hope this helps
kc-135 is not the same airframe as a 707...closely related, but it's actually a 717 designation....shorter wingspan, lacks full set of leading edge flaps, etc
I see KC-10s almost every day and a couple of KC-135Rs. Nice video!!
Was a crew chief on the 10 for 8 years. Great video!!!

Very nice. Good raw audio, very high quality, good camera angles. A+
My dad was a navigator on the KC's for about 19 years. Got to travel the world except visit Russia. It was during the 80's.
I noticed the C-5A Galaxys behind the KC-10. How cool! Thanks!
Amazing quality and expert filming = A+ vid.
How beautiful. My father was a pilot on one and it crashed. Killing all. But seeing this makes me feel close to him again

Absolutely perfect! :D

The shot at the beggining is amazing
All the tiny C130s with the KC135s and KC9s!
And hello from 9 years in the future.
@The2011G Yes, USAF KC-10's are still in service. However, they are dying out in commercial service unfortunately :(
NICE quality vid!
this is awesome dude!!!
I love your Videos. not like others which seems they were running while shooting. wobble mayhem
WOW THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice video
Are you using a tripod? I have the same camera you do, but when I shoot aircraft I almost always have a shaky image.
Thx
i would love to see if you also record the take off of C-130. C-130's sound nice too in full power

super nice camera...which is it? and what effect is it?
I could ask the same how the engines of the Vickers VC10 and the Ilyushin Il-62 kept being on the tail and didn't fall off.
There are about a dozen KC135's modified to receive gas inflight, but the majority of the fleet cannot take on gas like the KC-10 can , hope this helps
They're the same engines (near enough), aren't they, on the Kc-135R as on the A340-300. So why are the cowlings so much bigger on these?
0:01 WOW! I didn't realise the C-130 was so small...
Wow!
What does the K C stand for ?
I see a foreign many uses that too
@dora9a yes i use a tripod.
thumbs up!
@skylinegtr96 thanks for watching.
the DC10, or now, the MD 11, always amazed me on how the 3rd engine was so f****n huge, and didnt crush the tail, defies physics.........
Made a plug on 0031 recently
there are a few that are air to air refuel capable...they're all located at mcconnell...tons of info on this plane on wiki
what's that thing on the tail looks like two small wings?
@92071551743 canon vixia hg21..i used the sonft contrast effect in sony vegas
I rode on one when I was little
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Why are the engines on the KC-135 so big? Isn't the aircraft based on the 707?
It is the 707 but the US Air Force has since replaced the original engines..
***** Yep. Original 707 turbojet engines are not nearly as efficient as modern turbofan engines.
Can a KC-135 re-fuel itself?
I rode on the kc-10
Nice - but i dont really like videos where the planes take off in the other direction...
i think indonesian air force want to buy that air plane because that amazing arplane in the world.
3521! I work on that jet! 434 AMXS!
0:20, A4?
kc-135 is not the same airframe as a 707...closely related, but it's actually a 717 designation....shorter wingspan, lacks full set of leading edge flaps, etc
dereklsept But the Boeing 717 is a MD-95? Don't get your drift here.
I think you meant 720 nor 717
No guerra.
Liechtenstein air force >>>>>>>>>>> US air force
Gab jtyj Lol that's a good one.
KC-10s are so so freaking bad
