Here are some photos I took at various times in my career:

Refueling an F-15 in the AOR

Thunderbirds after a fill-up

Refueling an AWACS off the coast of Colombia

It's really amazing how fast they come up on the tanker - literally out of the blue.  One minute the sky is completely clear, and the next minute they are all around you!

No doubt. When I was in H.S. I was in Air Force JROTC and we got to go up in a KC-135 and watch some Panavia Tornados with the RAF take on some go-go juice. One minute nothing but blue skies and green farms....then *POOF* someone's in line at the gas station.

I like this idea, and I'll dig out some neat pics to post...

Yes, yes you should.  I will dig out more from my 20 years in the Navy also.

That's gotta be a bit of an adventure in the cockpit trying to stay straight and level while 50,000 lbs of cargo loaded off center gets dumped out the back.

For the Korea guys.  Old photos from a piss poor photographer (me) on a scanner leave lots to be desired but for those that hit the villes, especially up north, you'll remember

The Z

Home for a year

 

Big bullets

 

Back when DPICM was new.  On the Dragons Head, North of the Imjin, just south of the DMZ (so they could hear us practicing)

Easter on the Imjin River

Can't remember the name of this outpost.  There were two on the east and west sides of the road leading to the UN area.

That's looking out over the DMZ and into the north.

Next time you see an old guy in an American Legion or VFW hat remember one day he was a tough young guy doing his duty to his country and fellow soldiers
