Not very often now days, Roberts work has a spouse flight where they invite spouses onto a refueling practice mission. A couple weeks ago I was able to go with Robert and watch two B-52 bombers be refueled. Here is the first B-52 lining up to be refueled.
It was so fun watching this happen. All of us wife's were in aah, as most of the husbands were use to seeing this be done.
Here is the second plane waiting for its turn to refuel. We were also able to go in to the flight deck ( cockpit of the plane) and listen to the pilots of the other planes around us talking. Until we got in to middle of Wyoming we could hear the radio tower at salt lake airport.
Here is the second B-52 refueling. We flew over South Dakota where it finally cleared out and we could see land. And one last picture of the McKay and Lauren to make the grandparents happy!!! McKay has learned how to open his toy battery compartments with a screw driver and is showing us his tallent.

Awesome blog Amy. You're a pro now. I think it would be scary to be on a refueling flight. Thanks for the pics.
ReplyDeleteI went on a refueling spouse ride and it was great. I remember seeing how fast the F16's came up on us and then the pilot and I waved at each other, they were so close to us! Keep those cute kid pictures coming!! love you all
