Weird never encountered that, can the pilots even like talk to ATC?

No modes and codes at all, how about TCAS?

May it's to withdraw all US troops and to tell everyone they're on their own?

Pretty neat to see three tankers together like this.



ETA: now all 3 have turned off transponders.

Those are sweet rides. Loud, but otherwise as comfortable a airplane ride can be.

KC-10 and upper level C-5 seats were good.

To be honest, you’re trying to split hairs.
Maybe people weren’t really serious about avoiding unnecessary war.
It seems that for some people Trump can do no wrong(unless he modifies his

I can't believe they're allowed to be called that. Vermont is ultra woke. Cool nickname though. It's amazing the AG, MG Greg Knight hasn't gotten any pressure about it.

I never had the pleasure. I've only flown C-130s and C-17s with the USAF.
