Thanks! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Another amazing video!
Good looking cows and calves.
Thanks! We are pretty proud of them!
Loved your mission. Your videos of the boom operator has been awesome. They show the precision that the boom operators do with their jobs every day. Your enthusiasm to upkeep your farm is amazing. Farms don’t just happen, they work because folks like you put in the work. Thank you for your service and your dedication.
Thanks Ed! Keeping our farm going is definitely a team effort! No way one person could do it on their own!
Epic nighttime approach I love that Blackness above our atmosphere
Yes, it's beautiful.
Gets really dark while flying over the middle of the ocean!
Goat's will take care of the honeysuckle. They have a company here in St. Louis county that travels around with their goat's, they put up a temporary fence and let them go to town.
Ha! There would be plenty for them to eat around here!
Gotta love the BUFF!
Kind've like the KC-135.... an oldie but goodie!
pretty cool video of fueling! BFV sent me over
Thanks Skidder!
Beautiful video
Thanks David!
Col Jones - Retired mbr of the ILANG (CMSgt) here. 28 years attached to the 126ARW at ORD, the the final 2 my EI unit got brac'd to Springfield IL (F-16s). Came across your videos about a month ago. Miss the tankers. Curious as to yo
Wow! 28 years is a long time! Thank you.
I think the tail end of your comment may have gotten cut off.
This Buff dragging video reminds me of running a 15 yr old (at that time) pup2start Champion Road Grader. At Airfields Snowbarn at Eielson, and it was all no clutch direct-drive so every lever you pulled had a shaft going into a gearbox and you could not keep that thing level. No matter how long I tried, I'd bust some knuckles hitting the dashboard just to stradle the sidewalk and keep the blade level to chow hall, especially for Sunday midnight chow. Steak and lobster once a week. Honestly, highlight of week... that and expeditions. Moose Creek and Eskimos! Snow22 skidoo!
Yeah, the less levers, the better for me, when it comes to running equipment!
Brian just got him a new mower for his excavator. You should try and borrow it from him. BTW. Was that B52 pilot a yo-yo champion or what? OMG
Yeah, I saw that!
That pilot did fine. I sometimes speed up the footage, so it can be deceiving some times!
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 Very cool. I looked on ADS this morning. I see an EDDIE 41 and 42. Are you just Eddie without any numbers?
Another great video. Thank y’all for your service. The B-52 looks like a flying city block amazing power to keep them in the air
That’s so awesome what you all do wow thank you for sharing buddy love watching
Love the content of your channel. Have you ever been to Alpena Combat Rediness Training center ?Thats where I live .
Yep, it's been a while, but I've been there!
Winter time in Minnesota,, catching up on some equip. Repair, putting new coat of paint, on some equip bought at an auction,, and watching your videos, saw one of a buff refueling reminds me of when the boom use to tap the top before connect,, sir please drop a “ hey” to your boom for me,, thanx. From a old retired gunner
Will do Grant!
Thanks for the comment and thank you for your service!
As a retired gunner, I bet you have some awesome stories!!
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 sir only the ones when sitting around with boys on alert( back in the day) and having a good laugh,,,, america
Another great video, thank you for sharing. Your cattle look good.
Thanks Joe! Yes, we take a lot of pride in our cattle. I should have lots more cattle footage this winter. They are pretty much self-sufficient this time of year.
Little bit late but thank you. End of January 2023
Better late than never!
Thanks for watching!
Served in 179th OANG back in the late 60's. Then moved to Indiana & spent 7 years in the 122ng ANG Fort Wayne in late 70's early 80's.
Thanks for your service Fred! I'm sure Rickenbacker would look a lot different to you now!
Awesome video! And that is a cool variation of the squadron patch.
Love that Ohio/KC135 Patch👍
Yeah, it's my favorite one!
Cool seeing the lighting in the background while refueling.
Thanks! I was hoping it would show up better in video, but I'm glad you noticed it!
We actually had to reverse course due to those storms. Thunderstorms and trying to refuel are not a good mix, ha!
When you see those planes lining up to connect to the boom it crazy. You have to have balls of steel to do that. My dad used to tell me that when the cows are laying down that it is gonna rain. He was right most of the time. Great video and can’t wait for the next one.
Ha! The good thing is I'm sitting up front, so I can't see all of the craziness that goes on back there!
Great video Colonel. As an old, retired USAF Chief and Wanna-Been-Farmer really enjoy your content. Grew up in Ohio so also enjoy the scenery around your farm operation. Again good work Sir. Will keep watching.
Thanks for your service Chief!
I've been waiting for this video. I guess because this is something my Uncle did while he was a B-52 pilot. That was interesting to watch the refueling. The night landing was awesome. All those lights were a beautiful sight. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! It took me a little longer than expected to post this one.
How much does turbulence play a part in doing this?
It can play a major part! We do our best to avoid it, but sometimes we can't.
Would a controlled burn of the woods help? I have been watching a forestry guy that highly recommends it. I could be wrong.
I don't know if it would or not. With my luck, I'd set the entire woods on fire!
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 Check with the local forestry service. Set up fire lines to prevent over burn. It may be beneficial Love the vids. Makes me miss the Air Force..
I hate honey suckle trees. I feel for you trying to fight them. I would always cut them down for fire wood. Then the darn stump would start growing back.
They are definitely a nuisance!
Love the music choices sir. Your videos never disappoint. Please keep it up.
Thanks again Otto!
Cool video thanks, I have a friend that's a boomer in indy
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I'm really glad you guys got your skid steer out of that mess but sorry you got a broken window in the process. I guess like you said it's repairable but still probably a little expensive and I'm going to assume pretty time consuming. Wow that footage of the Buff was incredible and the night shots were amazing! Your videos definitely are one of a kind and it's an honor to ride along with you guys. As always thank you for your service.
Thanks for the feedback Kevin! JD wanted $600 for window, but I found it at another place for $180, so not too hateful!
How many Gallons a Minute do you Transfer?
Right at 1000 gallons per minute!
Have you ever refueled an SR71?
No I have not. Those were decommissioned a few years before I started flying.
@@ohioflyingfarmer7050 I feel old now 😂😂😂 I was honorably discharged in 1980 so I guess I am old. I rubbed up against a lot of F4’s that flew over Vietnam. Spent my time in TAC.
