Anybody who willingly jumps into an aluminum tube with wings that carries explosives and flies it miles up in the air with almost no fear or hesitation is way more than human Superhuman, arguably. Both fucking awesome, and mind boggling. 😂 I wish all these folks well
I have a great friend who does this also and he love his job and especially when the time to chat with the F-16s fighter pilots through out there missions. This is the best of the best inflight views ever

When I was active duty USAF, 6 of our F-15s flew from AZ to AK for a readiness exercise. Our maintenance crew rode in the KC-135 tanker. It was such a cool experience to observe refueling operations from the "boomers" window. What a sight!
That tanker, did I hear Boom identify as "91" ? If so, holy FUCK ! That was MY plane ! I served as Asst. Crew Chief. Minot. '82 to '86 !
Gorgeous jet! The F16 still looks majestic

Fun fact! Normally pilots make jokes or do interviews cause it helps calm them down. It is a very stressful procedure trying to do A-A Refueling and so the interviews calm the nerves as being stressed is not at all optimal during A-A Refueling.

Never dawned on me he was born to serve. 🙏🏽 for your service this was amazing to watch and the communication with each other was pleasant.

Going to join the Army.
I always find it strange that the USAF uses flying boom refueling so much with their fighters. It was originally designed because the top brass didn't like how exposed their bombers and transport aircraft were during aerial refueling, hence flying boom method was developed to increase the rate of fuel transfer. However, for smaller aircraft like fighters, using the hose and drogue method means you can refuel multiple aircraft simultaneously (I think the limit is 3). But then, for example, the RAF only has their refueling aircraft equipped with hose and drogue systems, meaning even their transports like C-17s and A400Ms can only make use of the reduced fuel flow from that method. Very strange to me.
