This photo is superb; however, making up a reg number for it, esp when the USAF reg is in plain view, might imply that there is not very much concern about the accuracy of the info provided. Also, by entering C46, you told the FA program to identify this as a Curtiss Commando and even tho it is obviously not a Curtiss Commando, you simply left it. IMHO, that is a shame because you take outstanding photos but perhaps you are like so many of today's aviation photographers who are not all that serious about the hobby.
Anyway, for this photo, the reg number is 176035. The aircraft is not a Curtiss Commando. It is a really new KC-46A Pegasus. There are two options. Since KC-46A is the military designation of the B767 it was derived from, entering B767 will display info that, although not 100% accurate, is far more accurate than Curtiss Commando. As a second choice, enter KC46. The FA program will not display a title but even no title is better than identifying this as a Curtiss Commando.
Bravos on the capture. *****.
