Oh no, the 747 SCA has been attacked by a flying manta ray!

From the MSNBC Photoblog, a story about Brazilian police and Marines pacifying some of the rougher areas of Rio de Janeiro, as part of preparations for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, this image of what appears to be an AAV-7

Caption reads as follows:

"A marine in an armored personnel carrier throws a blue smoke flare in Rio de Janeiro's Morro da Mangueira shantytown as he advances through the slum's steep roads early in the morning of June 19, in a pre-announced operation. Hundreds of Brazilian police and soldiers backed by helicopters and armored vehicles swept in Sunday to take over a crime-ridden Rio slum as part of a pacification plan ahead of the football World Cup in 2014. More than 100 marines and 160 elite police officers took part in the operation in the hillside Mangueira neighborhood, which went off without a shot being fired, a police spokesman said. Drug gangs which had been controlling the district had fled well in advance."

Just found my new wallpaper, many thanks    Those are Aussie Super Bugs right?

I doubt they're RAAF.   There are E models there in addition to Fs and we're only flying the F and the tanker is a KC-10 or Tristar by the looks.  That being said, it might be a multinational pic (eg: RAAF, USN, USAF or RAF).

KC-10. IIRC, the TriStar's top engine is, so to speak, "streamlined" into the top of the fuselage.

That picture dose not have any aircraft from the RAF in it as they don't operate any of the types listed. In fact they don't operate many types at all now. Stupid short sighted politicians

Thanks for that Ytown, I can nevery tell the difference betwixt the two, but then I'm not a airliner person per se.  Gondor, given that it's a KC-10 not Tristar, my bad (although the RAF do operate Tristars).

Yes they do operate Tristars and as you so gracefully admitted not DC-10's
