Many of the most important discoveries have been made not through the study of natural phenomena as they occur in nature, but through the study of phenomena of human-made devices. This is because nature is complicated compared with the simplicity and order of human developed technologies and it is these simplified systems that the human brain understands most easily. Often, general and powerful theories emerge as a secondary result of the creation or observation of new technologies.
And so, understanding the patterns of behavior of the KC-135 may deliver powerful and general insight into much greater things.
As of 12/2/2009 I have not witnessed any patterns of KC-135 behaviors.
