F-35s and KC-135
At the Milwaukee Water and Air show also featured the Madison based 115th Fighter Squadron of F-35 Lightning II and the Milwaukee based KC-135 aerial tanker.
The KC-135 has its fuel probe down to be able to refuel aircraft in flight. Pity they didn't fly hooked up, that would have been impressive to film.

If you think 707 is old, KC-135 predates 707 by almost a year
It's first flight was closer to Wright Model B than it was to F-35's

Yep, airframe production ceased in 1965, some of the vendors probably had moved on / gone bankrupt by now
Remember that time some dude bought entire stock of surplus B-2 windshield and the air force had to buy all of them back because they're no longer in production?
