F-16 Refueling Mission
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010So every time I go to update my blog I think to myself, “hey, I should post that refueling picture from last May that I still haven’t gotten around to posting.” And yet I always forget to do so. Anyway, here it is. My assignment was to go up in a KC-135 refueling plane and photograph and film the crew refueling F-16s mid-air. We were traveling at 500+ mph groundspeed at altitude when these F-16s which were training over the Nevada desert would fly in out of nowhere, attach to the plane I was in, refuel their tanks in a matter of minutes, detach, and zoom on past like we were standing still. It was all very impressive. The pilots even let me in the cockpit to film while they were landing. Anyway, thanks for looking as always questions, comments, complaints and concerns are always welcome.
Cheers,
That is a pretty badass shot, glad you posted it!
What is wrong with you?! May?
That, is a stellar shot. Even it is, mm, about 8 months late…
heh. Actually those waterfalls are pretty sick too. I never knew frozen waterfalls looked like that… that’s probably because it’s about 60 degrees here on a bad day. Ha.
And if you ever get sick of the cold… Sayulita is just around the corner.
I hope life is going well over there in Utah! (For some reason, I always feel inclined to say Oootah, with emphasis on the Ooo) You guys should come visit California some time!
salud! (that’s cheers in MY language),

SWEET MAN!!!!!
Won’t lie I’m a bit jealous of you on this one. Very nice shot.
