Omega Tanker's N974VV


One of Omega Tanker's DC-10-40I, N974VV (cn 46974), departs Runway 8R ahead of two US Navy FA-18E Super Hornets. N974VV is one of two former JL DC-10-40s that Omega Tanker acquired. They contract with the US Navy to provide long-range in-flight re-fueling for their fighter fleet.

N974VV's previous registration with Japan Airlines was JA8538. It was delivered to JL in 1979 in the old colors, and served until 2006.
