Interesting bird I saw today.

Today I was visiting an office near Miramar MCAS and I saw quite an interesting aircraft taking off, and of course I had to post about it on here

It appeared to be a KC-10 with the wing pods, but in civilian markings, with a large Greek letter Omega on the tail.

Here is a picture of what I saw (I didn't take this one):


Turns out a company called Omega Air Refueling operates a leased Dutch KDC-10 (commercial DC-10's converted to tankers for the RNAF), and operates the aircraft commercially as a military contractor for NATO air forces, including the USN and USMC.

Omega does quite a bit of work with contractors and NASA as well.

That's a cool Plane...

But I was seriously looking for a Pterasaur or something cool by thread title...

or at least Obama giving Mc Cain the finger or something...
