I'd need to get someone else to fly the scale KC-135Q for in-flight refueling though.

Damn, these model guys are crazy. Building scaled and working models over here is a pretty big and respected hobby, but so very expensive. That turbine he used in that thing costs a small fortune and the rest of the plane is most probably also scratch build, using model kits is a little frowned upon if you want to make something like that.

I also find it hilarious that the guy who posted it is Japanese and every body congratulated him for the model while the video is German. :lol:

You Tube commentators aren't generally known for their attention to detail. :lol:

Here's another guy building his own. Been at it for most of the decade too...

Wow, now that's one impressive RC model! The sounds it emits...so awesome, especially when it's prepping for take-off and when it does passes over the camera person.

It still amazes me that the SR-71 Blackbird is still as popular today as it was when it was first revealed to the public - especially since it's no longer flying.
