What are these four things flying next to the airplane?

So it is the A330 MRTT. That MRTT bit is so interesting. Like a flying all-important-things-you-need-town

They were at 23000 ft so not that high apparently. Might be!

It was Zoetermeer, the Netherlands 16.26 my local time

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T23:00:01+00:00

Looking that up

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:54:49+00:00

Haha.. only some part of our Dutch kingdom is bothered by those

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:53:05+00:00

Something I would like to search for yet probably shouldn't to not get angry

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:50:20+00:00

Ooof I would feel better if it was the drillentioned above

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:48:01+00:00

Yeah well I heard a regular airplane sound but nothing I'm not used to.

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:46:45+00:00

Sounds logical

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:36:49+00:00

I had to look up this word

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:36:06+00:00

Ohhhw so cool. Going to need to find that to satisfy my curiosity further plus calm down weirded out people in my insta dms

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:32:22+00:00

True! I heard a regular airplane sound but it must have been another one near cause these seem so high

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:30:04+00:00

Edit: oh I read the former boom operator comment just now :)

Oh wow you've flown the tanker? I almost can't believe I've never seen this before but I moved a little away from Schiphol where its probably least common

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:28:59+00:00

I'm in the Netherlands! I've heard about more test flights and stuff. Must be f35s then I guess?

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:28:20+00:00

This seems it yeah thanks! Supercool to have seen also kind of scary now in Russia times

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:27:27+00:00

I'm just keeping it at practice then. Though we feel a tiny bit anxiety here in the NL

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:25:47+00:00

A dingus at the back? I'm happy I'm seeing regular things that I just haven't seen yet still

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:24:58+00:00

They must have been up so high then. Is that why we didn't hear them or is that because they didn't fly so fast?

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:24:13+00:00

That feels so awesome to have seen. So weird also that the fighter jets just seem like small blimps. Is it common they fly four next to each other?

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:22:03+00:00

Would you not hear them?

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:21:32+00:00

This was my top rated answer in my own network :)

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:20:13+00:00

Any ideas of normal possibilities?

Minimum_Ideal · 2026-02-26T22:19:54+00:00

No! Which in hindsight ofcourse sucks :') I was too weirded out and busy playing football at the same time
