Non practicing USAF Boom Operator (88-97) All things air refueling (with a little bit of WWII Marine Aviation) #NKAWTG
How I Missed the D*mn War – Part 1 Monday, August 5th, 1990, my buddies phone rang and it’s his Aircraft Commander (AC) telling him he is now in crew rest, to pack a bag for 90 days, report to the squadron in 12 hours, and no, he didn’t know where they were going. Fifteen…
BTW... why did the USAF pilots and navigators get $675 a month for flight pay and we (enlisted) only got $150. We wuz robbed!

All fun must come to an end, and today is the last EAA AirVenture #OSH25 Ramp Check! Join Ryan Dembroski for one final ramp check to close out our EAA AirVenture #OSH25 Plane Talk series. It's been an incredible week! Remember, all recordings of EAA AirVenture #OSH25 Plane…
"A boom operator is typically the only enlisted member aboard the four-person KC-135 and is the only enlisted member in the Air Force who handles flight controls." Robert F Dorr
With the President travelling to Scotland today and the E-4 being tracked following along, I though folks who haven't read this before might get a kick out of it because you just know somebody is saying "Is that the President's Plane?"

This photo was taken in November 1989 and because I could read the tail number, I decided to look it up. Hope I puzzled out the tail number correctly. 69-0290 (MSN 3830) built as an F-4E, was converted to F-4G. Then, on January 9, 1991 it was sent to AMARC. Became a QF-4G…
buh-bye Photos by Me.
Ok, might have stretched that just a bit as it was not an official emergency (and also, I have told this before, so forgive me if you've read about it already) but... There we were, flying from the west coast to Hawaii. Two tankers and two F-4s. We'd passed the half way point…
An emergency, you say? Sounds interesting.
2nd Ball catch of the year for me at Mildenhall! COBRA28 62-4128 arriving this afternoon. #aviation #avgeek
