If not a name then maybe a catch phrase for the ad campaign at the ATA convention:

The KC-45- so smooth using french aviation technology that you can relax while your WSO/Nav/Loadmaster/space-A retiree fill in the blank can get your gas for you....

I like the "Douche Bag" or "Bag de Douche" if you will.

BTW, I have to offer support for my tanker brethren on this one, never had a bad operational AR, and have done it plenty on the way to OEF stuff. Always got the gas, always a good experience with crews more than willing to give me more gas or drag me farther than intended several times. Sorry some dudes can't hack it.

How about iL Douche... No, wait, that's Italian.

I've been to the tanker probably more than the average fighter guy (5 desert tours, plus living in Jax and working with the MCF, WRB, MGM, SJ, DCA and TYS tanker units). They are a good bunch, professional and more than willing to offload some extra, or drag you a little further, or turn sooner to facilitate the rejoin!

To all the tanker bro's out there thanks for all the fill ups!
