Yep, the plane is usually fuled quarter full. Then it takes off, do a couple of rapid climbs and dives to warm up the plane and close the gaps before heading to a refueling tanker to take on more fuel. I think it was also the first of not the only plane made predominately of titanium.
But back to that lump of glass, what a thing of beauty. Typically cold war vintage, built like a tank.
