[KC-10A BOOMER]

I had the time of my life spending 6 years as a Boom Operator in the KC-135A/Q (steam jets) and 5 years in the KC-10A. That was until the Medical Hobby Shop grounded me on a medical (1979-1990). My favorite part of it was the 3 ½ years I spent at Beale AFB refueling the SR-71. Most fun I ever had with my clothes on, but it could get pretty scary when you had a cowboy behind you. Kind of like the B-52 air refueling scene at the beginning of the movie Dr. Strangelove that Buff was all over the place.

I presume you knew the Blackbird was full when you saw the fuel streaming out of its wings.
