I was used to seeing KC-135, C-130(now replaced by the C-17) and various private and commercial aircraft. This latest one has been a mystery to me. The thing is that it doesn't have any markings on the tail or fuselage. At least on the right side. The flight path takes it east to west and then it turns south, so I've never seen the left side from my vantage point. Maybe it has something on that side..... taminator013https://www.blogger.com/profile/02635084701986840255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-81792514477963226922021-07-31T19:10:18.785-07:002021-07-31T19:10:18.785-07:00There's not much in that part of Idaho, either...There's not much in that part of Idaho, either.
