Airmen from the 436th Aerial Port Squadron load cargo during a security assistance mission to the Ukrain at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Jan. 13, 2023. An explosives sign marks the cordon around a commercial aircraft during a security assistance mission at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Jan. 13, 2023. Anyone ID the aircraft being loaded?

The Air Force is looking at extending its growing F-117A Nighthawk stealth combat jet operations to 2034. A spokesperson for the service confirmed to The War Zone that at least some number of F-117A jets will remain operational in order to support limited research and training activities, but that there is currently no requirement to preserve any of these aircraft in any state for potential combat use. The spokesperson also indicated that the Air Force intends to eventually get rid of the entire F-117A fleet one way or another, either by their donation to museums or via scrappage, but that no details on a specific timeline for those divestments are currently available. With the jets officially retired in April 2008, stretching their operational life to 2034 would keep F-117As flying some 26 years post-retirement

3rd time seeing FIAT callsign tanking off the Northeast US.. Another SPUR Priority Airbridge tanker replacement callsign I presume.
I thought at first Italy Altrav missions perhaps. LOL.. Racist thinking these days.. :)
Like Airscan posted last year several replacements for SPUR tankers these days.. PICO,HIFI,REALM,ABBOT etc. all heard in 2022,
