These clips are great for showing civilians that we're all just normal people in the military.

I have a great friend who does this also and he love his job and especially when the time to chat with the F-16s fighter pilots through out there missions. This is the best of the best inflight views ever

When I was active duty USAF, 6 of our F-15s flew from AZ to AK for a readiness exercise. Our maintenance crew rode in the KC-135 tanker. It was such a cool experience to observe refueling operations from the "boomers" window. What a sight!

As a KC-135 mech sys engineer, since 2010. I have to “engineer” from a desk...on the ground...in a building...on a computer.

But you Boom Operators (BOs) have the best seat in the house (sky)!

Not taking away taking away from Pilot/Co-Pilot duties and responsibilities.

The view from the sighting-glass is priceless.

Apart from the awesome operator and pilot talk.

That plane must be one of the sexiest and bad ass jets in the air force.

Fun fact! Normally pilots make jokes or do interviews cause it helps calm them down. It is a very stressful procedure trying to do A-A Refueling and so the interviews calm the nerves as being stressed is not at all optimal during A-A Refueling.
