I'm not back, I just can't go 2 weeks without nasalscript (or PID controllers). So I work a little in spare time.

Great Job.
Thanks to the B707 original authors and to the KC137R team

Progress on the project is slowly restarting, in the last few days new ITAF versions have been installed and both tankers got an improvement to their 3D, more to come in short time (hopefully).
