A French KC-135 refuels an Australian KC-30A. This is what made the KC-10 so powerful in Operation El Dorado Canyon. A tanker that can be topped off by another tanker is a good thing.

Sure is but I still have reservations about the vulnerability of tankers, particularly in our part of the world. Hopefully you can park them outside the battle zone but in a sky as big as Oz and its environs, and with strike aircraft that don’t have long legs and not enough air cover to defend them that may not always be possible.
