Default KC-45A Name
http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123098797

The Air Force is going to let us choose the name of the new tanker, so we can pick something just as "cool" as Fighting Falcon.

La Tankre?

The first gaining unit will be MacDill.

Travis is not likely, there are no 135's there to replace (until they decide to replace the KC-10)

As long as the new tanker pilots aren't as arrogant as new C-17 pilots were, any name is fine.

Something snazzy like "Flying Tanker"? Or "Sac de gaz"?

Paint a big stirp down the middle and have it use bio fuel so it leaves a smelly trail behind it!
