Speaking to the risks and ultimately the threat by Iranian anti-air capabilities now, a USAF tanker making orbits over the Arabian Gulf just SE of Kuwait.

A nice visitor to the airspace around Buckley SFB today. KC-135R 59-1495 (HUSKER-15/AE0500) of the Nebraska ANG making a pair of low approaches before heading home.

I really appreciate the eye-catching D-Day heritage paint scheme!

Picture from a mile+ away with an iPhone, thus the low-detail.
