B-52 getting air refueled

Had the opportunity to go up with the Missisippi Air National Guard today on their KC-135 to see them refuel one of our B-52s. Pretty cool thing to watch from their perspective.

That is cool!!!

2 old birds there....

I've been on both ends of that refueling. It's gets scary on the B-52 end when the boom comes about 2 feet over the hatch windows. I'd sit in the IP seat between the pilots so it went right over my head. My seat cushion would have a bump in it afterwards. It's amazing that those two huge planes can fly so close together. Thanks for the pictures. Brings back memories.

Very cool pics.

Great pics.

With 2 very talented crews!

We can never thank our military personnel enough for keeping us free.

Wow that's cool.

Amazing pictures, thanks for sharing!

Very cool!

If I remember right they refueled about 35,000 ft. give or take a couple of thousand.

Dang, looks like there would plenty of time to think about what you did wrong on the way down, if you fell out of that thing, lol. Thanks for the replies, gentlemen.

Thanks for sharing the pic!

Thank you for sharing, My Grandfather flew a KC-135 during the war and told me some pretty hairy story's

Great pics!

Impressive that both of those dinosaurs are still flying. A tribute to the men and women that service and fly them everyday. Thanks for your service. I always feel like a giddy child when I get close to an aircraft (even a flyby gets me sometimes).

Great images! Gives me vertigo just looking at them!!

Thanks for your service, and stay safe.

Awesome pics! Take more of them please!!

Great pics! That would give me a serious pucker factor for sure!

Awesome planes and pics!
