Noted on ADS-B 13-02-17 westbound over Dallas-Fort Worth area with 85-0041 'Hank41' in trail;
'41 noted on return flight eastbound the next day. (85-0042 from unit to AMARG 01-17.)

The 908th is replacing their aircraft with newer ones (also H2s) from 914th, which is converting
to KC-135R. The 914th recently received their first tanker from the 916th ARW, which is scheduled
to be first AFRC unit to convert to KC-46A in '19.

The picture on Niagara Falls home page shows KC-135R 62-3557 as the aircraft concerned. I noted this aircraft on ADS-B the same day over North Carolina using the callsign "BACKY94" - which is used by 916th ARW KC-135s - presumably at the start of its delivery flight.
