Meet the USAF's Long Awaited KC-46A Pegasus Tanker

Submitted
 
It's been a decade and a half in the making, but now the time has finally come to see the USAF's new tanker in whole form, moving under its own power. The KC-46A is based on different elements of different variations of the Boeing 767, and once fielded, it will represent a massive capability increase in American aerial refueling and transport capabilities.

Take a breath guy as the original was made before the test flight. If you care to re read the article you will see there has been an update to indicate it has now flown since the squawk was written.
