I spent two years stationed at RAF Mildenhall in the UK with the 100th ARW, 100th MXS Aircraft Structural Maintenance Element. I have notice several repaints for the KC-135R on this awsome web site but I have not seen a paint for the 100th ARW. The paint sceme for these 135's are the most involved standard scemes in the Air Force apart from a few special units ( Thunderbirds and Agressor SQ's) I was hoping to try it myself but I have found that painting them in real life is far easier even if more messy. If anyone could help I would be more than willing to help, give images and discriptions of this involved paint sceme. Thank you SrA Kenneth D Cox

I am not sure of any of the new tail numbers because we sent all of our tankers out for the Pacer CRAG mod (avionics and GPS) and a few with the new wig tip mounted basket drouges for faster refueling of Navy and NATO aircraft as they don't use the "flying boom" method of refueling and the drouge attachments had a bad hisorty of leaking when on the boom. The last site I listed appears to be the newest photos I could find with an tail number and it looks like they have changed the tail stripes a little recently due to problems we where having with the silk screener when I left. A/C tail number is 23551.
