Yes, would really like to see this light gray version of the AMC shield seen on some Shamu KC-135s & KC-10s, compared to the all-black version used on the AMC gray jets.

 

Thanks

Jonah

Jonah!  That's B-52G of the 34th BS, 366th WG in the background!  Great shot!

Kursad, Will any of these tails be on the first sheet? What about subsequent sheets? K/r, Dutch

Man do those SAC KC-135 tail bands bring back memories.  Saw many of those when I was stationed at Eielson AFB in the mid 80's.   SAC would send crews up from the lower 48 on TDY rotation as part of it's Alaska Tanker Task Force.

So not sure how close you are to completing this sheet Kursad but I stumbled across this interesting story regarding KC-135E 58-0013 "Balls 13".   Seems they lost both engines on port wing during a mission in Desert Storm but were able to safely recover the aircraft.   They patched her up and it flew with Kansas Air Guard until retirement in 2004.   Wondering if you might still have room on this sheet for one more KC-135E?  Stories here... https://www.190arw.ang.af.mil/News/Features/Display/Article/437903/the-desert-part-three/  and here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KC-135E_Kansas_ANG_landing_2004.JPEG

These markings from the NJ ANG are pretty great.

 

Very cool markings but this is a 135R.   Not sure if Kursad is going to do a second sheet for 135R's.  

I'm still sitting here like a little kid waiting for the 135A/E sheet to be released.
