    As many as I can fabricate
    I have followed that build from the start. When he crashed Draco, I thought he'd do something crazy and he did. The carbon fiber on that plane is unreal for a hand laid fuselage.

    Does anyone in the group happen to have a contact who flies the KC-46 in the reserves at McConnell AFB in Kansas?

    Basics. Tires, painted headlighes, UHLM, baby winch in the bed, and heated mirrors :)
    I love that dude and the work ethic he stands for. That entire monster was designed built from the ground up and just happens to use bits of metal and body lines from existing planes. Handmade molds, genious safety features, engineering/testing all of his own custom parts, even to collaborating with Garmin to make the insane avionics setup work seamlessly; I can't imagine how many thousands of hours and AMUs went into it. His panel alone is worth more than my house. Would kill to see it in person someday.

    Now if only he could take a piss at the same time! (If they're refueling I'm guessing that will be about 5hrs of flying time)

    Ah so, 4.5 hrs+ range x 1 refill = 9 hrs aloft.
