Dominator Air Tanker
Press (1-4) to activate the engines. A tanker variant of the Dominator Heavy Bomber. It was developed as an aerial refuelling platform for Dominator Heavy Bombers in order to extend their range. With the downsizing of the heavy bomber force, many of the newer airframes were converted into air tankers as well, this time to extend the range of fighters. The internal bomb bay has been converted into four 512-gallon fuel tanks, and is separate from the aircraft's internal fuel supply. The bombardier position was converted into the fuel management position, and is afforded a rear-view camera in order to guide aircraft. It uses a probe and drogue system due to its simplicity. The hose and drogue is stored in an additional fairing in the tail.
