Hello people, I'm back after a break!!...or shall I say back with a "bang." Jus kiddin. Anyways, for the first time the IAF has publicly displayed it's IL-78 refuelling tankers. One of these pictures now adorns the background of my desktop! :smoke Whoever said that the MKIs were gounded??!!:roll
A Jaguar IM of No.6 Squadrons takes it turn in a practice refuelling sortie.
Two Sukhoi-30 MKIs of No.20 Squadron hook up to the Illyushin 78 tanker of the Battle Cry squadron.
Another view of the Tanker with two of the Sukhois. This time, the port side drogue is vacant and the center drogue is occupied by one of the aircraft.
Pilots view of approaching the air to air refuelling drogues. Two MKIs are captured in this photograph thru the cockpit of a third aircraft flying below the formation.
