My friend Steve Gardner made up some decals to do that Harrier, I've got a set of them.  I really should get on and do it.

F-16 minus F-5 = F-11.

MiG-28 plus F-11 = MiG-39 (round up to MiG-40)

That would explain the presence of a CA ANG F-15C.  Gorgeous custom paint job on it, I hope someone produces a decal set for it.

All the objects in this photo are the same except for one.  Can you point out the one object which is unlike the others?

Omega Air has just received a surplus KDC-10 tanker from the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The company already flies a couple 707 tankers and another KDC-10, but none of them are equipped with an aerial refueling boom that the USAF and many of its allies rely on. Instead, they exclusively have the hose and drogue arrangement used by the Navy and Marine Corps. This new aircraft puts Omega Air in the position to blaze a trail when it comes to finally bringing contractor refueling support to the USAF and other allies.
