[edit] Merger

I'm proposing the merger of Speckled Trout into this article, since there's information overlap already, and little evidence of the need for a seperate article. Once the program receives a KC-135R, info on this can also be added to the KC-135 article. Akradecki 01:19, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Support. - BillCJ 02:20, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

No contest. Will move forthwith. - BillCJ 01:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] C-135 revamp

Akradecki, good work on revamping the variants of the C/KC-135. When I fisrt saw that you took out the KC-135 lead pic, I was prepared to not like it. I put chose that pic myself when I added the Infobox to the article about 6 weeks ago as the article had no pics at that tiem, and I felt it was a awesome view. I saw that the article was set up as a "gateway" to other -135 models (I copied that format when I set up the C-137 page - actually, I copied the whole page!), and felt that including it would go along with that. Then I saw the pic you replaced it with! Wow! So anyway, I have no problem with the pic that's there now, especially if we meger the Trout article in. - BillCJ 06:04, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! In a way, that pic is a tribute to the airmen who most likely worked through the night before getting that bird polished to such a high shine for the show. I had tried to take it earlier, but there were just too many people around, so my son and I walked all the way back down the flightline after the show was over just to get it with no one standing in front. Fortunately, she's going to be preserved at the EDW flight test museum. Akradecki 06:14, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
