how many KC-135s does it take to refill a HUGE C5? internet says....
Galaxy has 12 integral wing tanks with a capacity of 51,150 gallons
"KC-135A’s fuel capacity of more than 31,000 gallons​
KC-46 has a maximum fuel capacity of 212,299lb​
However, the total fuel capacity of both aircraft is close to the same, with the KC-46 holding about 10,000 lbs more than the KC-135"​
internet says 1 Gallon = 6.79 pounds... so kc46 carries ..31,266 gallons​
dang, wonder if there's another KC 135 to top her off?
First off the C5 is no where near empty when she refuels so there’s that………

Similar conversation about 2 months before I retired, while there was still time to "adjust" my paperwork.

My boss: "Uh....we are having a hard time filling you and Fred's positions."
Me: "Well I reckon you better check that old operator uniform and see if she still fits. Maybe stay up to wee hours on the weekends and reset the ole cicadian rhythm. Get acclimated to night shift."
