My KC 135 Ride

Today was spouse appreciation day on base and I got the chance to fly in a KC135  and watch the boys in F-15Es and F-15Cs refuel.  It was pretty amazing!  I can't believe how close they actually get to the plane.  I have a new found respect for what my hubby does for a living.  :)  Enjoy the pics!

Inside the KC135...such comfy seats uh?!



England's Coastline...so pretty!

The guy who controls the "boom"

The "Boom"..aka the gas hose? gas line?
Anyways you get the point :)

Sorry this pic is sideways...stinkin computers sometimes
Anyways, its me laying on my tummy watching the planes refuel
 in the back of the plane, a small bay where they control the Boom

F-15 E Strike Eagle waiting for his turn to refuel

I like this pic...so stinkin close, huh?




KC135 Cockpit

England Coastline, north of the base

Here comes the chariot of death 
(as sam calls it)...the F-15C

F-15C Eagle refueling...its so close, this pic does no justice.  
You can literally see the pilots facial features.
And if the pilots are really good (sam is working on getting there, hehe)
they will wave at you while they are getting gas



The Eagle peeling out

A couple of the F15Cs waiting for their turn to refuel

You can see that its in the back of the plane, under the tail
