Notes:

Tanker #453 (#153 in US) on the ramp at RTS waiting for the next tasking. In the background are "Air Attack Seven-Delta-Lima" (AA-17DL[N17DL]) and the lead plane for #453, Bird Dog #130 (C-GWEW). The Canadian Bird Dogs are the equivalent of the Air Attack planes in the US, acting as lead planes by helping spot dangers and pick out the best lines for the tankers.
