Raleigh/Dover/Philly Pics

very nice

I thought it was “Cargo” as that’s what they carry. F for fighters, B for bombers etc… ? Not quite sure why air tankers ended up with the KC prefix though ? Kerosene Cargo ? :confused:

I think the ‘K’ is for Tanker – it was the first available letter of the word ‘Tanker’ which wasn’t already in use for something else.

The K is used as a prefix to the normal designation , therefore KC-135 is a tanker version of a C-135.

Just love those out of window shots, what base is that where all the C5’s are parked?

Correct, i don’t know about the kerosene though

I have a question for you , Miltary specialists. (Maybe I should post on the military forum).

What does the “C” stands for in the USAF freighters? (C17 , C130 C5 etc…)
