Kansas Air National Guard KC-135 Tanker,
Boom Down, Getting Ready to Refuel

(See beneath the photo for navigation)

A Kansas Air National Guard tanker getting ready to refuel over Kansas.
See the boom down.
Those fighters sure get close when they refuel.
The boom operator really has to pay attention.
What a skilled group of patriots, the boom operators are.
They never get enough credit.
I have always said the boom operator is the glue of the crew.
