Ah yes! For an interesting perspective, try a pic from the inside:

I once flew a SPACE-A hop from Ramstein AB, Germany to RAF Mildenhall, UK on a Gas Passer. Shoulda been a 1 hour flight or so. Well, the ole Gass Passer was diverted to the Adriatic to a refuel mission during the Bosnian IFOR operations. The flight lasted about 12 hours. The only good thing was I got to sit in the back with this fellow and watch him work.

Thanks for the great pic. I have a couple of pics similar to that one but the quality is not as good.

Great pic...gotta love the way the pilots draped the flag for the photographer to catch!
