It looks like “Old Crow” had the cigar shaped tanks…..still looking for the others

There was the Czech pilot, Augustin Preucil, who defected to Germany in his Hurricane in 1941 landing in Belgium. Not sure what mark it was though and the pick I saw was displaying it in it’s RAF markings. (A PA letters) Not sure what happened to it after that?!?!

The MesserSpit does look mean!

Yes….KB-50…..Brain is connected to fingers but sometimes stray!:D

Need to get in there again sometime and get some pics! Last time I was in, didn’t get a chance except at night….not good for taking pics. Think it was in use up into the mid 60’s. Just tacking a couple fans on the wings does not make it in the jet age!. An interesting stopgap measure.

It is a bit ancient history, but they are still flying! Just went on a field trip with my son’s CubScout pack to MacDill AFB and saw the 135 squadron there. The Air Force was in a bit of a hurry to get tankers. They were still using the KC-50’s (one of which is on Gate-Guard at Mac Dill along with a Phantom and an F-16). Refueling jets with prop planes adds that much danger to the operation with the jets hovering just above stall and the tanker going full out.

Now talking about the new tankers coming on line, THAT will fall in the Modern Military forum
