NASA did not use in-flight refueling. I have no idea what "excercitation" is supposed to mean. Are we dealing with Babelfish here?
To try and simplify what Elliboom said (which was a great post BTW!)
Dirty Q = Carrying JP-7 fuel
Clean Q = Carrying JP-4/JP-8 fuel
Partial Q = Does NOT have special communication equipment
Full Q = DOES have special communication equipment |

Another important feature of the KC-135Q/T;
The segregated tanks of the KC-135Q/T could/can also be used to transport special fuels to remote operating locations. This would be done until supply lines had been established to deliver this fuel in a more conventional/economical manner with trucks, rail, or barrels.
The U-2 requires JPTS fuel. A KC-135 can transport fuel to the operating base where the "Duce" is being used, then off-load it.
So if anything out there needs "special juice" the -135T would fit the bill!
Those secure communication radios would come in handy too for any "special projects" that may require the "special fuel"  |

I misguide the "s" of the plural for the variant of the Q, but Know you can also tell me which planes they refuel in all their career?
Thank you first! |
