HAND SALUT TO THE LOST CREW MEMMBERS!!!!
Ret. USAF!!!!
God Speed on Angels Wings and Thank you and Prayers for the Fallen Families at this time!!!!
Love the KC-135! I flew back from Germany on one as a retiree hop with my toddler. No heat! Jump seats! HOO AH!
GOD BLESS the crew that perished! It is a difficult mission.
And I am betting the toddler had a ball and the crew were enchanted.
Sounds wonderful, but I was just concentrated on keeping said toddler warm. I am grateful to the crew, that they got us on the plane! It was a wonderful experience that I hope said toddler remembers!
So sad for the crew AND for the crew who, thank God, survived. Not easy to say goodbye when a mistake was made. Prayers for the fallen and for their fellow aviators.
yes a very tragic event! training accidents occur in peacetime too . . . !
I'm very familiar with them. Two tankers were involved one hit the other as it entered a refueling pattern. Neither of the planes were receiving fuel aircraft.
I wondered why they were so close together.
Watch the first few minutes,he gives the details right away,he doesn't drag it out like some do.
Thanks fren. I did not realize that refuel involved two!
The one I hopped back to the States on, was National Guard returning home after a NATO exercise. I was so grateful to finally get on a hop! The cold and jump seats were a bonus! ; )
One is a backup. About 10 of these planes can receive fuel from other tankers,neither of these could do it.
ThankQ. I did not know that a refuler could be reflued. Amazing!
I got a hop on one back to the states after my tour in Thailand. 46 years ago. Edit: Just remembered it was a C-130.
Have been on a few of those in my time in the USAF!!!!!
Thank you for your wonderful memory!!!!!
HOO AH! Thank you for your service! And GO National Guard too.
