Anybody who willingly jumps into an aluminum tube with wings that carries explosives and flies it miles up in the air with almost no fear or hesitation is way more than human Superhuman, arguably. Both fucking awesome, and mind boggling. 😂 I wish all these folks well
I have a great friend who does this also and he love his job and especially when the time to chat with the F-16s fighter pilots through out there missions. This is the best of the best inflight views ever
When I was active duty USAF, 6 of our F-15s flew from AZ to AK for a readiness exercise. Our maintenance crew rode in the KC-135 tanker. It was such a cool experience to observe refueling operations from the "boomers" window. What a sight!
Woulda thrown up some horns. These dudes, and dudettes, are some real metal warriors. What a video. I'm so happy to have people like all you protecting us.
As a KC-135 mech sys engineer, since 2010. I have to “engineer” from a desk...on the ground...in a building...on a computer. But you Boom Operators (BOs) have the best seat in the house (sky)! Not taking away taking away from Pilot/Co-Pilot duties and responsibilities. The view from the sighting-glass is priceless.
Fun fact! Normally pilots make jokes or do interviews cause it helps calm them down. It is a very stressful procedure trying to do A-A Refueling and so the interviews calm the nerves as being stressed is not at all optimal during A-A Refueling.

I see why my son in listen. My sons name is Falcon and that name came to me from nowhere. He’s always wanted to be a soldier since he was 4 yrs. military academy from 7yrs - 18.

Theres something I wonderd for a long time now: Do Fighter Jet Pilots have their dedicated Jet? Or are the names on the side of the canopy switched frequently?
This is maybe a naive question to so of you, but I really don´t know. When you are performing air-to-air refueling, do you refuel only the tanks in the plane or the external fuel tanks as well?
I always find it strange that the USAF uses flying boom refueling so much with their fighters. It was originally designed because the top brass didn't like how exposed their bombers and transport aircraft were during aerial refueling, hence flying boom method was developed to increase the rate of fuel transfer. However, for smaller aircraft like fighters, using the hose and drogue method means you can refuel multiple aircraft simultaneously (I think the limit is 3). But then, for example, the RAF only has their refueling aircraft equipped with hose and drogue systems, meaning even their transports like C-17s and A400Ms can only make use of the reduced fuel flow from that method. Very strange to me.
Loved how informal and friendly that boom guy was.
Especially how there doing Dangerous Maneuvers and they have a Friendly Conversation.
Sooo badass and normal speaking... Loved it!

You'll notice they are very professional and on point and do not grabass until the "Flow" is good. as in waiting for the jet to top off.

These clips are great for showing civilians that we're all just normal people in the military.
The pilots and support staff are so professional ! You guys rock!
Respect! Some people just don't understand what our soldiers go through.
Fuck yes...
Normal well trained personnels

Air-to-air refueling is one of the coolest sights of my life.
"How much gas ya guys got?"
"Eh about 50k"
"I'll take 4k hehehe"
@Bill Kelsoe Wouldn't that be a nickel?
Typical American conversation to middle east countries lol
Absolutely badass - Those helmets are so cool!
But so expansive! The F-35 helmet cost 400k. xD
It’s the JHMCS. It’s different from the F-35s HMD, much cheaper but less advanced.

That tanker, did I hear Boom identify as "91" ? If so, holy FUCK ! That was MY plane ! I served as Asst. Crew Chief. Minot. '82 to '86 !
Gorgeous jet! The F16 still looks majestic

Uh oh. Disqualified from service?
Same. I dreamed of this exact position since I was 7-years-old! It is fascinating to see and simultaneously painful.
Man... these birds are one hell of a sight, piloting one must orgasmic. Great video!
Apart from the awesome operator and pilot talk.
That plane must be one of the sexiest and bad ass jets in the air force.
I prefer the KC-135 to the F - 16

F16's great looking aircraft.
Indeed, and it seems so modern, I always forget it's from the seventies.
i love these types of videos im glad that you guys can bring these to us
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!🇺🇸👍🏻💪🏻
God I love the viper. Such a beautiful aircraft.
Thanks to all who have served!
Beautiful shots, I like the paint job with the linings!
This is why I show my support. You guys out there are just stellar and want to let you know that. :)
Besides being a fighter/bomber pilot, this would be such an awesome job.
2:15 is that him showing the middle finger?
hmm not sure
Thumbs up and then index and pinky fingers
Thats the "Hang Loose" sign.
no, he made the metal hand sign
pretty sure he was just brushing something off his helmet, or a "see ya" symbol
God bless our troops!!! love you guys!!!
the airforce may be the butt of many jokes but man they have saved our asses many times oversees
@Phillip Banes right on brother🤙🏻
It's always Great to See our Pilots For Selfridge ANG Always a pleasure To watch these Guy's in Action I Salute you All

Being a boom operator on a KC-135 looks like a lot of fun!

Both can be refueled, just depends on how much fuel the pilot needs

What kind of helmet wears the pilot at 4:03
sonic61 JHMCS helmet
Is the jet refueling or the big plane?
What a job!
We built way too many F-16s to the point it’s not easy to replace the F-16s
American guy they do the job and are cheaper. I can't see why not
I thought America wants to replace the F-16s?
Yeah that's what the F-35 is for.
If I remember correctly they're retrofitting the F-15 model with modern instruments.
They need both. 15/16 cheaper to operate and still extremely deadly when need be. F-35 is the expensive stealth version.
Cool
God bless!
