B52 Air refueling

I was told you might like this photo of a KC-135 and B-52 refueling.

The crews on both aircraft were Instructor candidates. The purpose of the maneuver was to key in on the visuals to remain connected. Climbing and descending turns (60 degrees of bank) were flown throughout the maneuver.

I had the "windowless" seat as the gunner but have since upgraded to windows as a "flingwing" driver.
