well, if the FRENCH tanker performs as well as its crews do with regards to altitude holding ability and general SA in the air, this new tanker will be the best addition EVER to the USAF!!

just got back from AEF over in Afghanistan and the BEST tanker, BAR NONE, was a French tanker we refueled from. These guys had their Sh*t together!! They had awesome SA in the air and were always asking if we needed anything, could they drag us somewhere, etc, etc....PLUS their altitude NEVER waivered.....wish I could say THAT for the USAF tanker fatties (i am talking about -135 dudes here.....-10's are another headache...ugh)

I was VERY impressed!! Here's to Total 62....
