"We know a thing or two - because we have seen a thing or two."
Ah, Maryanne was the one that most wanted to bang…
Feel free to look up her vjj... and then comment your opinion.
Tildawn is what she goes by
Damn,
How many hailstorms did that A10 fly it? it looks like the 2nd graders went berserk on it with ball pean hammers.
I sponsored a soldier deployed over in the sandpit when my daughter was in middle school ("Herobox"). Before he returned to the US, he sent her a flag that had been flown on a B1 during a mission, along with a certificate of authenticity. They are on the wall in a display case outside her bedroom.
I worked on that aircraft at England AFB some 35 years ago. On the nose, what you see are the dents made by the refueling nozzle missing the refueling port which is located just in front of the canopy.
Does the flag certificate have any Wing/Squadron or tail number information on it?
Are you trying to say that some boomers can't fly their boom properly?
For anyone that's curious, the turbulence directly behind and underneath a KC-135 is wicked bad. I've seen other aircraft drop and raise more than 20'.
It's a wonder there aren't more collisions during mid air refueling.

I found it quite smooth behind the 135. Problem with the A10 is the tankers have to fly slow to refuel then there is a lot of induced turbulence. KC-10 was rough as hell though.

I should be over there tomorrow for a while so I'll take a look. I believe it did have a squadron but nothing else.
No time on the -135 (except as a fill in pro super in theater) but 16 years as a flying Crew Chief on the -10. A KC-10 that was configured with wing pods (for drouge refueling Navy acft) couldn't refuel an A-10 so configured. The -10 simply couldn't fly slow enough above stall speed to do it.
The A10 is only slightly faster then a balloon.
MikeAK asked if you can make him a decent gigolo, too, Kari? He's been struggling with this election, I mean, erection.
I was a Comm guy, been on a refueler as a moral trip while in the NCO academy, you're saying a KC-10 with wing pods for Navy aircraft can't refuel A-10 because of stall speed? A-10s cruise above 300 knots...that doesn't add up.
My boss was an A-10 driver when I was at Wing HQ IG, he got me the simulator at Osan as a going away present. I got to do that for a little over an hour, pretty cool with the 360º screens. I kept my hand on the throttle for the first 15 or so minutes, until he told me "we don't do that, full throttle, always, from take off until you're lining up to land". I did manage to "kill" some stuff, helicopters, tanks, other ground vehicles and some Nk aircraft...managed to "land" it too, although I was a little off center line of the runway.
