[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 784219, member: 46724"] Thank you for your service [USER=50197]@Clovishound[/USER] These were shot near Spokane, WA at Fairchild AFB during Skyfest. The C-17 was a guest here- we're the flying gas station base, lol! I have never been in the military, but many in my family have. Closest I got was years ago, waiting in line for what seemed like hours to have my turn as a tourist to sit where the boom operator sits (lays on his belly) to refuel the planes. Not sure who would be more white knuckled- the boom operator hoping the plane below doesnt catch an updraft and smack into the belly, or the ones below hoping the boom operator knows how to poke a straw through the lid properly! Either way- thankfully, they're trained professionals! [/QUOTE]
