    Fire up your Google Earth and tell me what type of aircraft are at;

    29 degrees, 22' 40" N

    98 degrees, 34' 05" W

    and then the airplane sitting at;

    29 degrees, 21' 58" N

    98 degrees, 34' 11.37" W

    Is it an A-10 Warthog?

    Looks like KC-135 tankers.

    and then the airplane sitting at;

    29 degrees, 21' 58" N

    It appears to be another KC-135. As far as I can tell, there are no
    combat aircraft visible. There is a couple of C-130's parked toward the
    other end of the field.

    Thank you...I thought they might be Boeing 737s...guess not.
