<Air> A couple from the Black Sea

I was using my buddy's Nikon (yes, I know, shame on me. I washed my hands right afterwords and kissed my Canon) while getting ready to Aerial Refuel with a KC-135 over the Black Sea. It really was a perfect day to fly and to AR. This was also special since it will be my last time flying Freddy for at least a couple years, UAVs here I come

I've got more from in flight, but haven't finished the PP on them. I'll be adding them soon.

Cheers!

"On the Boom"

Nice. Thats a pretty sweet perspective.

Awesome! What were you in again?

And in the first shot you can see another a/c way above you! From the tip of the tail, and go right...

. . . on the boom, good ones !

On the apple (or close, anyway)! Nice shots.

Very cool, always wondered what the perspective must look like!

Simply Awesome.

Anyone else notice the high flying plane in the first shot?

yeah that is definitely another plane and maybe the moon as well?
Great capture!

Thanks everyone! I never noticed the plane until I saw the pics on the computer, everyone has got good eyes! Next to the boom in both pics is the moon, also very cool.

VR6 - I'm flying a C-5. Fred is its nickname

Awesome. The re-engined C-5 yet? And these were the 135 refueling the 5?

Here's my special refueling shot!

Next time try zoom into the boom operator.
Nice shots, very clear

Nice Pictures

Question

I love your job, and photos! Smart!

Yeesh...heavy drivers, taking all their gear and cameras with them. I hope your clubs didnt get scratched up in flight, whens the tee time again? I suprised you could take the picture and hold on to your coffe cup at the same time
