@ Nellis AFB, NV
March 2010
Spotted this commercially operated air refueling tanker on the Nellis flightline back in 2010 while on a tour. Omega Aerial Refueling Services is a company that provides aerial refueling services for military customers. Omega developed the first commercial aerial refueling aircraft in 1999, and currently operates a fleet of five aircraft, two of which are these 707 aircraft converted from transport aircraft. Unlike military KC-135 aircraft, the Omega 707s use a hose/drogue system to refuel aircraft. Nikon D70s w/35-70mm.
