Tail-end of a Big Bird

The Finnish Air Force have trained on air-to-air refuelling of their Hornet fighters at Pirkkala during this week.

A large refuelling tanker of the US Air Force in Europe arrived for the training sorties from its base at Mildenhall, Britain.

My 80-year-old father-in-law definitely wanted to see the tanker plane at Tampere-Pirkkala airport and asked if the wife and I wanted to accompany him. I smelled a blip.
