Do you mean this pic?

It's a Boeing KC-767 aerial refueling tanker of the Italian Air Force. Boeing has two KC-767s in flight test for the Italian Air Force while building two additional tankers for the customer. The Italian tankers feature an advanced aerial refueling boom with a remote aerial refueling operator (RARO) station, as well as wing pod and centerline hose-and-drogue systems. They recently set a \"milestone\" by having the first 767 transfer fuel to another 767 on 17 December over northern Kansas...

Nice pictures but, not much \"meat\" in the story. :( Saw a couple of door arts I don't have, I'll have to get with my contact at Barksdale and see if he can hook-me-up. 8)

I was too busy concentrating on that wonderful aeronautical design in the foreground to worry about the gas hauler in the background 8)

Dice said it right, I would have liked a few quotes etc to go with the great photo's.
