Any idea what kind of planes they are?

Good. I was afraid this was the Russian collusion they are always talking about.

Be glad they don't nest in a tree near you. They make a heck of a racket

If they'd run off that mockingbird it might be worth it.

The bottom one maybe a kc10 I think I can see a engine mounted in the tail section of the bottom plane.

I thought I saw that myself, not knowing what I was looking at. I was only able to snap three pics as it was going away. Whatever it was, it was pretty cool.

Maybe your all wrong. Looks to me like one broke down and the other is towing it home.

No. That structure is the claspers with which the female secures the male's reproductive parts until mating is completed.

Could be road rage. Or sky rage? Texting while flying?

Maybe. Looks like they are running south? My son may be flying one of them. I will call tomorrow and ask him.

In a Steve Irwin voice Crickey, wow what a sight! Now this is rare and hardly ever seen in the wild. It Looks like and has to be a young Boeing has claimed the prize and with it the pride. They will mate until a new stronger and younger Boeing gains control. What a site mate!

KC10, my son flies them and as old as they are they are still the primary tanker for the Air Force. The commercial fleets retired the DC10 years ago.

I watched a few A-10s refuel over my house a couple of years ago - they just kind of flew sky laps around - I think 3 fueled up. They must have had to stay current because they fly daily here and this was the only time I witnessed them aerial refueling.
