Well, I'm no stinking VIP, unless you ask my daughters (does that count?) and I not a member of the media, either, so I guess I'll have to deal living vicariously thru you and your "work photo's", when the sound track of Top Gun is running thru my head.
What kind of plane / jet was Mark in while taking the photo of your tanker?
EDIT: A couple other questions popped into my mind and if the answers are classified, I understand you not answering, but how much fuel do you carry to fill the other jets / planes and is there one of those planes (the B52, perhaps) that can gobble up all the fuel you carry in one fuel trip? How many of the jets (like the F18, F16 or F15's) can you fuel when they come up in groups? How long does it take to fill one of their tanks up? I swear I'm not a spy, just curious.
