E-4B Refueling Practice (Sharpest Shot Yet)

Albany, Missouri

Aircraft distance is about 10 - 15 miles. I'm 80% sure that the tail number is 40787.

Nikon Coolpix 995 ,6-Inch f/8 Refractor Telescope

Great shot! One of the best AR shots I have ever seen! Thanks Dan!

This is tail number 787 and it is an E-4B. It was the last E-4A to be modified to a B an I was part of the crews that flew it back from this mod. This aircraft was due to be retired in 2008, but was delayed. It was nickname Arnold for the pig on Green Acres at one time. When the NEACP operation was moving to Offutt from Washington DC it was sent to check out what would be needed at Offutt for the move. When they tried to leave it broke down twice. On the third try they used to ears of corn to marshal it out and it made it.

This is not Air Force One, it is a E-4B

Wow! Air Force One. I agree it is a very sharp shot.
