I am super super super super super jealous right now! I really want to fly with them someday. ^^ I aspire to be their first female pilot.

Flying is actually quite easy to pick up. The rules are incredibly complex.

If are going to learn to fly before you enter the military, have at least $5000.00 to spend. Do not start and then run out of money. This makes it very expensive.
Some people belive that wind over the wings and Bernoulli's principles makes airplanes fly. They are mistaken, MONEY makes airplanes fly.

The best way to make a small fortune in aviation is to start out with a big one

Kodachrome is a very archival film. I have some slides dating back to the Korean war that are still sharp with no color shift. Glad you liked my shot!

Indeed. Boomers get a unique view and cracking photo ops!

Understandable, AE is too expensive.
I saw a clip on youtube when they refuelled a B-1B, it wasn´t as smooth as I expected, but I guess hooking up to a KC-135 isn´t the most dangerous part of a deep penetration mission into USSR.

I watched a night refuel of a B-52H back in the 1970's. It was cold and pretty bouncy. The acft was latched on for a Long! time.

It was fun, but very cold. Not much heat in the KC-135!
