Thanks for looking chaps.
deeknow , you're right about the looks, a very peaceful-looking type. I've just heard it's still here (evidently), I'll have a man with cam out over the next 3 days, hopefully capturing some departure shots.
Interesting note: "The Air Force expects to buy at least 179 KC-46 airframes for $4.9 billion. They will not fully replace the 398 KC-135s the USAF currently employs in the aerial refueling role alongside 38 to 40 KC-10s. In fact, they'll represent just 40% of that force."
