I rode in one at Grand Forks AFB. I was allowed to watch over the boom operator's shoulder while a B-1 was refueled. It was definitely one of the coolest things I've seen in my life.

I have flown many a mile in a KC-135 out of LRAFB in Arkansas back in 1967-1969. before that I worked on B-52s.
From England to Ban-U-Tpao (when the B-52 blew up on take off)in Thailand and of course, Kadina (when another fighter bomber blew up while preparing to take off), Okinawa.
Flyin out of Okinawa, we refuled B-52s. When I looked out the door window, I could see three other refueling operations going on. Looking out the opposite window I saw the same thing. Someone in Viet Nam was going to get plastered.
