What tanker number was it? I was there at Air Spray in Dec 1999 and got to photograph about 14 of those airplanes. That was a fantastic day.

I hope you are going to let us Aussies in on the details - I just bought a couple of new lenses specially for this and I would hate to miss out - any chance of an Air to Air. Never quite did that with the B25 despite being close a couple of times - love to capture her properly pre new scheme - then post new scheme - come on give us a break !!!
Kindest regards

Great news Oscar.
Congradulations and enjoy
The folks at AirSpray are a great bunch. They have always opened the door when I visited.
Just out of curiosity.
Have you removed some of the spraying equipment already ?
Will make a little photo reportage of your trip back home ?
Have a safe trip
