smooth operation
Love the practice bombing run on that suburban house's front yard, starting at about 0:20. Unblurred GPS coords in the bottom right corner. ;)
Based on the coords, I make that out to be smack dab center of Leesville, LA, so these guys are probably operating out of Barksdale to the north.
Leesville, LA. Spent a year there one month in 1965. Viet Nam was an upgrade
Sat in the IP seat more than once and was always awed at what they do. The other impression I got was how little room there is to move around in such a huge plane.
The guys and gals in blue are getting it done! Keep 'em flying!
I got about 400 hours on D and E models in the 1960s as an inflight technician on the Hound Dog missile. Always enjoyed sitting in the IP seat and watching the refueling - especially at night with the lights on the bottom of the KC-135 and on the end of the boom. The crews treated this low-grade enlisted man very well, and I was pleased to act as their "flight attendant", bringing the upstairs crew members things from downstairs (lunch, coffee, chocolate milk, cheese and crackers, etc. - not exactly like an airline meal in first class!). Hard to imagine that that was 50 years ago and although the D and E models are no longer flying, the G and H models still are.
