South Tampa contains MacDill Air Force Base and an aerial refueling wing of KC-135s.
Yesterday while driving near the base I looked and saw the entire belly of a Stratotanker banked 90° right and pulling hard. Chuffing vapor on the wings and everything.
Below and ahead of it was a Cessna.
The runway at Peter O. Knight airport is almost in line with the main runway at MacDill.
I speculate that air traffic control missed the Cessna heading to Peter O. Knight running VFR when they cleared the KC-135 for take-off and they spotted it on climb out from MacDill.
Just exactly the worst time to be doing hard maneuvering.
No crashes or collisions, so all's well that ends well.
