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