Through the Guard Base, I was able to fly in a KC-135 to watch an in-air refueling of an F-16. It was such a neat experience! And it was so weird to fly sideways. However, it was the smoothest landing I have ever experienced. We had to wear earplugs the entire time because it was so loud. You'll be able to tell when you watch the videos. Hope you enjoy all the videos and pictures!
All the spouses and our boom operator.

Decompression air mask...or should I say hood? This one goes over your head as you can see in the picture on the left. It kind of looks like a giant pencil top.
Our seats. Comfy.

This is where we watched the refueling. There is room for three. One on each side and one in the middle. It is actually pretty comfortable down there!
