KursadA Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Can anyone help me find a better photo of the Samurai art applied to the tails of Kadena-based KC-135R's? On a KC-135, it is too high to be photographed directly from the side, but I guess it must be applied to some other aircraft operated by the wing. Any help would be much appreciated. Below is the best photo I could find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I've got walkarounds of several of their tankers, Eagles, Pave Hawks, and E-3s. Let me know if I can help. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 No sorry. There was a Kadena based KC-135 on static at Avalon in 2013. The public was able to get very close so one of the resident Aussies may be able to help you out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
