A Golden Hour arrival of a pair of Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s at the tanker. The picture was made during Operation Unified Protector (OUP), a NATO-led operation to protect Libyan civilians against the civil war. Two Tornado's were very short on fuel during their patrol over Libya and needed gass quickly. Our C-135FR was already on its return to Istres, but was redirected to the Tornado's, not bad for us as photographers.
