So, I got to do one of the coolest things I have ever done in my entire life this morning! Go on a KC-135 (tanker) and watch Patrick air refuel. He did awesome...the best refueler I've ever seen and after today I've seen 6! We got to talk to eachother on the radio and everything. We were about 15 feet away from eachother. I layed down in the back of the tanker on these mats and he flew right on up. He was so cute...he didn't know if I was going to for sure get to go (there was a chance the pilots could look at the belly and say "No!")...he came on the radio and asked if there were passengers and the boom operator said "Oh yea!" and then I hear "Hi Honey!" It was SOOO much fun. I kept asking if he could hear me, but after a minute I figured the radio out. I have a whole new respect for what they do. There are at any given time about 6 people talking on the radio and he has to figure out who's talking to him and fly his plane. I've always known how amazing he is, but this put him right over the edge for me! As usual I'm so proud of him. He really is amazing. The only thing missing was Aiden. He would have just thought it was the coolest thing ever, but alas it's a wife only thing and I'm just glad we got pics/videos! So, without further adieu....
Kaycie and I getting ready for take-off...we got to sit in the cockpit!
Getting ready for P to come and get gas...we layed down back here on some little mats and watched through the window!
He's here...SOO cool! Best pilot in the Air Force!
Got on the boom on his first try...of course!
He came for gas and good conversation!
All done! See you at supper!
Going...going...
Gone!
