Well the title says it all. We took a refueling flight on a KC-135 with the young men, which were only two. The other guys missed out. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity where if there's a conflict of schedule, you drop everything else. It was that cool. A high school friend of mine, Lt Col Jeremy Morrison, flew the plane. We headed up from Salt Lake International and went to Twin Falls, ID and refueled F-15s at night (no pics of that since it was dark and we couldn't use flashes). It was cool. They let us go to the back and watch the boom operator work with the fighter pilot to refuel. They also had us sit in the cockpit. Our two young men sat up in the jump seats for landing, after a touch-and-go the first try. Good times.
