Hi Patrick, stars and stripes forever. Isn’t she beautiful? You captured her and all her glory million thanks for all you do Patrick love from all of us on Staten Island, New York, handsome.
Patrick very beautiful video of the B767 taxing to the apron,looks like it is ready for a number of years of service. Becoming a real nice classic in its time.Patrick have great week and catch you on the next flight.
You notice that the KC-46A have no reverse thrust. I'm not sure why they did that. Also all KC-135's with cfm-56 engines have no reverse thrust. You would think they would want the additional braking on short runways...
the USAF decided to select the PW4000 engines without trust reversers , the primary mission is air refuelling , after delivering fuel in mid-air , the plane would be much lighter , so trust reverse is not that important , also KC-46 was intended to use long runways so would be rarely needed , reducing the complexity and the cost as well , a compromise
