[TerryPavlick]

Okay yeah - just trying to see the large two digit number on the side near the bottom and below the wing of the aircraft. Its there the resolution on the image posted is just not enough for my software to resolve

I saw what you said, RaleighGuy

The NEF RAW Nikon file is 4016 x 6016. The aircraft in that area is fairly small, as he was almost two miles up and I'd guess another mile or two away. If you have photo software and want to play with it I can send it up to Dropbox... I did very little processing of that image.

Yes. The flight number usually corresponds to the type. SABRE 46 = KC-46A, 35 = KC-135, 52 = B-52, etc.

There's a good LiveATC feed that covers Oklahoma City Approach working Tinker arrivals and departures. Airborne now SABRE 52

Went to Tinker on June 18th, did a test flight on July 30th, my guess it was in the shop for it's first C-check.

It appears Gold21 86-0031, KC-46s's 17-46036,17-46032 & 21-46058 are taking the same route. I would have to assume the others are as well.

There appears to be 2 C-17's ahead of them 10-0213 and 08-8204, both 437th airframes.
