Went on an air-to-air refueling mission today. Sat in the cockpit for take off. Flew all the way to the Canadian border. Then while flying 350 mph at an altitude of about 21,000 feet we fueled another aircraft that was about 40 feet from us. Got to lay down right next to the boom operator as they did the fuel transfer. The back of the plane was sort of like a boat with a glass bottom. Absolutely amazing.

Hit some turbulance on the way home and cargo planes aren’t as comfortable as commercial planes. Almost tossed my salad on the landing.

Feeling pretty patriotic today!
