What kind of a Military tanker???

Who refueled?

It's so slow I don't think the early jets, when they started being
eqipped with refueling probes, could slow down enought to refuel from
the Mars.

Don't know of any prop Fighters that ever had air refueling
capability.

Know the B-47 and B-52 could not refuel from the Mars. Nor did they
ever try to.

You know this how? The miltary has been using that plane as a tanker for
decades. It should make a fine fire bomber.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.
