Just a correction on tankers for T-Birds were MacDill DANTE-33 #62-3498 who after New Mexico/Texas landed NAS Ft worth.
DANTE-34 #59-1459 also out of MacDill took them the rest of the way from Texas to MacDill.
GUCCI-09 KC-10 #86-0038 flew non-stop to MacDill later at FL350 so probably a display show tail and may get the job of returning T-Birds to Nellis
after the show Saturday or Sunday. I guess that was part of MacDill deal to get the T-Birds was to provide the tankers .
Seems lately the Blue Angels and T-Birds are starting to demand more and more extras and assistance for their Airshow participation.
Hey they bring the crowds so make more demands.. LOL Flying Rock Stars doing the American Way
