That rocked!!

So can one presume that you're a KC-10 pilot? If so, I'm so jealous.

Truly an awesome video, thanks for sharing!

I couldn't imagine how hard it must be to inflight refuel, the coordination etc.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I love flying the -10..its a sweet ride for sure. Believe it or not..the Air Refueling is actually pretty easy..what gets complicated is the comm. The radios can get pretty busy with us monitoring different crew positions in the plane, ATC, and finally the folks we are trying to gas up. It was definitely crazy at first, but after awhile it gets pretty routine.

Awesome video! I'm planning on being a pilot in the Air Force too. How did you get there, Air Force Academy, ROTC, OTS?

Cool. What college did you attend, how was the training, did you have a scholarship?
