What is the outboard pod in the Columbian Transport?

I assume that it's a transport with a refueling package on it. Could that be the fueling drogue?

 

[PuckChaser]

Looks like a Probe and drogue pod, judging by the folded up drogue in the pod.

 

[DonaldMcL]

I can confirm its their Air-to-Air Refueller.

Great pics.  Question though, what is the plane with the Canadian flag on it?  I thought at first it was a CT-155 Hawk but the plane in the image has 2 engines vice 1.

Its an Alpha Jet, I believe from this company: http://www.discoveryair-ds.com/page?a=528&lang=en-CA.

They often support our exercises as Air to Ground support.

Hulk is correct, its contracted through the CATS program as a cheaper alternative for training than the hornet. "Civilian" pilots with CF EWOs in the backseat.

 

[Jammer]

"Civilian" pilots with a LOT of Hornet time.

 

[WingsofFury]

A few more from a busy couple of days..







And a teaser of what's to come....

 

[Canadian.Trucker]

Red Air CF-18's from 409 TFS

What are on the wing tips? Im guessing on the left wing tip is an Aim-9 without fins so you can lock on, but not shoot someone down. What about the right wing?

Dont be to hard on me if Im wrong... Im just a simple tanker!  8)

Air Combat Manoeuvring Instrumentation (ACMI)

It's got fluorescent orange wrapping on it to easily id red air assets.

 

[NLockhart]

It looks like its the ACIM which records flight information for training purposes but I could be wrong. That hornet is looking old....needs some paint

Singapore F-15SE kicking it into the vertical after doing a touch and go this morning...long live jet noise.

 

[SupersonicMax]

Ahhhh 767.... Lots of memories of flights over Libya with her... 

Orange strips to make it EASY to identify red air?  Ya right....

I would suspect that its orange because of some safety regulation.
