Going up for a drink!

I may be wrong, but I thought it was KC-135s that did the refueling. And, I cannot tell whether it is a C17 or C5 being fueled. I would think a C17.
Robin Rebhan
The C-5 is so much bigger it gives the illusion that it is much closer and lower than it really is.
Benjamin Taub
It's a C17 - it's got winglets
Chris Freeman
@Frank Austin, my money would be on C-17. Cockpit is much much smaller compared to the rest of the airframe on a C5 because the C5 is so enormous. Even from that angle there is just so much more plane visible with a C5 lol

Mssrs. Austin, Taub, and Freeman are absolutely correct on the lower aircraft being the C-17A Globemaster III! I have been with the McDonnell Douglas/Boeing program since 1987.
