Nice! Hard to top shots like that, not everyone gets to fly in a tanker while refueling a B2, very envious.

Oohhhhh man, that's so cool!

Of course if I were the pilot and knew you were going to be taking some shots I would have stuck one of the hula dancing bobble head things on the "dash".

Thank you all very much. It was cool being on this side of the Air Refueling. Yes my wife went a long and she thought it was awesome. All of the wives did actually.
