夜幕中降临悉尼国际机场的RAAF A330 MRTT

iamwhoami

带孩子钓鱼，随手拍个肉鸟铁鸟啥的，临走拍了一架飞机

iamwhoami

天黑了，看不清机身涂装和舷号，实际上这架飞机在机翼上是没有(明显的）舷号的


澳洲民航机的舷号是这样的，都是VH-开头的

iamwhoami

飞到头顶发现有点与众不同，机尾处比普通民航机多了点东西，看着像个tow bar 我合计着是不是机仓里座不下了还可以卖挂票

iamwhoami

注意机尾处那两个小翅膀一样的东西，另外机翼上也有个小挂仓显示出来与其他民航机的不同

iamwhoami

这个可能看得更清楚一些

iamwhoami

局部剪切，提亮，仔细一看，是空中加油机

iamwhoami

远去的身影，菊花灯还挺亮的

iamwhoami

回来一查，是A330 MRTT空中加油机

iamwhoami

看不清涂装，不过应该是RAAF的KC30A （用民用的A330改装的）

网上的照片，两个软加油管，一个硬加油杆，澳洲现在应该有7架，不知道为什么舷窗还在，难道除了装100吨油还能载客？

平时作政府专机，积木式储油箱可以拆装。

总理可以直飞华盛顿汇报工作！

RAAF KC-30 TANKER TO BE MODIFIED FOR VIP TRANSPORT

One of the two additional Airbus A330-200s being converted into KC-30A tanker transports for the Royal Australian Air Force is set to be modified with a VIP interior to support long-range government transport needs, Defence has confirmed.

“In addition to its primary role as an air-to-air refueller, the aircraft will provide the secure communications capability, range and passenger capacity to support long-range travel required to enable international engagement with our partners in, for example, North America, Europe and north Asia,” a Defence spokesperson told Australian Aviation sister publication Australian Defence Business Review.

“The modified aircraft will support long-range government transport with accommodation, meeting facilities and communications to allow conduct of normal business in transit.”

The government approved Project AIR 7403 Phase 3 for the acquisition of two additional KC-30As in June 2015. These two aircraft – secondhand ex-Qantas aircraft – will be converted to tanker configuration by Airbus Defence and Space at Getafe, Spain through this year and next.

Further approval to progress the program to modify one of these aircraft to support long-range government transport was granted on February 12 this year. And then on August 3, a contract was signed with Airbus for the modification work on one KC-30A, which includes a government transport and communications capability.

“Detailed design for the modification is ongoing,” the spokesperson said. “However, in broad terms the capability will provide accommodation, secure communications, a meeting room, a working area and airline-style seating.

“The modified aircraft would retain its refuelling capability to respond to Australian Defence Force needs, such as Operation Okra in the Middle East, but will also have the flexibility to conduct long-range government transport.”

The ‘Air-to-Air Refuelling Aircraft – Government transport and communications capability’ program, as outlined in the Integrated Investment Program, is valued at $190 million.

Airbus Defence and Space has subcontracted the government transport modifications to Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg. The capability is scheduled to be delivered in 2019.

330还有这种飞机啊....

可能是所有民航机都能改，美军还用摔机大王DC-10/MD-11改装军用加油机呢，这货民航客机几乎都见不到了，天上飞的只能看到货机了



霉菌的KC-10

美军估计可以容忍制式手枪选用欧洲货，但是军机这块死也不会选空客
