Air Show Mystery Solved

Thanks to my super genius of a brother, aka The Evil Elf, the planes I blogged about last week have been identified. And I quote: "The plane in front is a KC-135 refueling aircraft and the one in back is a C-17 Globemaster III Cargo Aircraft. The front plane is not really small. It is a modified 707 airframe and has been in service since 1957."

I guess that means my guess was right about what they were doing up there. They were practicing their refueling manuevers.
