I humbly have to agree. The Lancaster is a very special and rare aircraft. To find one captured in-flight by a random satelite pass is truly extraordinary, and although I am jazzed with my own find, I can't hold it up as an equal.

I must add however, that there is an added bit of personal coolness, I have had the opportunity to fly as a passenger on both types in the picture. I rode inthe the tail of the galaxy on a return trip from Howard Air Force Base in Panama, and I've ridden in the KC several times, on one occasion I was allowed to lie in the boomers station flying across the Gulf of Mexico. I now have a Google Earth Holy Grail, I must find a CH-53E refueling from a KC-130. That's a mission I flew Many times as a Crewchief in the Marines.
