This got zero media coverage, which is normal for the ho-hum life of Air Force tanker crews. In late September, 2021, the Air Force launched a record 20 aircraft with 15 seconds of interval between aircraft. All 20 aircraft launched, not bad for a 60 year old Boeing. Ok, engines and avionics have been upgraded over the years. The air refueling capability of the US is unrivaled and is a big part of how the US can project airpower worldwide, whenever and wherever needed..............in an even older Boeing, the B-52.
