The first A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport aircraft “CC330 Husky” for the RCAF took to the skies for the very first time today at our Getafe facilities in Spain!

Everything is on track for delivery next year.

The RCAF's CC-330 MRTT will be equipped with both hose-and-drogue and boom air-to-air refuelling capabilities, along with advanced cybersecurity solutions and countermeasures.

Any other pics of this machine ??  Strange intakes on top of cowlings & a Norwegian pilot ? Or is it A.I.

I’m looking for the turbocharger on top of the nacelle. Or is it a different model of the P-38?

It's real - see here:  https://www.flyingbulls.at/en/fleet/lockheed-p-38-lightning

It's a P-38L

Normal P-38Ls have the turbo-superchargers;


Lockheed P-38L Lightning at the National Museum of the United States Air Force

The Red Bull Lightning has the engine cowlings of an early P-38 (from the YP-38 to the P-38H series)


Lockheed YP-38


Lockheed P-38H-5-LO Lightning - The Last Lightning With Sweptback Engines

You'll note even the YP-38 has the turbo-superchargers.

Only the few Model 322s (P-38E) delivered to the RAF had no turbo-superchargers (due to US export restrictions) & were found to be unsuitable for active service.
