Great pictures from both of you guys.
Just some quick notes on Omega Air -
They're the only private Air Refueling firm in existance.
They operate a 707-320 (called a KC-707 by many) with 3-point air refueling capabilities on contract with the US Navy and US Marine Corps.
They are currently in the process of converting an certifying a DC-10-40 (no "KC" designation) to a 3-point drogue tanker as an expansion of their USN/USMC contract and are soliciting the RAF, RN, RCAF, and several other air forces for additional services.
They recently entered the USAF Replacement Tanker competition against Boeing and Northrop to convert DC-10s into a KC-10A configuration and provide services as a contractor instead of building new serivce units.
