Flying with the Air National Guard

[NeMont]

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a program called the employer support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). A group of employers from Montana flew from Great Falls to San Antonio Texas aboard a KC 135 tanker flown by the New Hampshire Air National Guard.

Here are a few pics of the trip.

On the way home we refueled a B1 bomber in flight. Here is the view from the boom operators station.

GOD Bless our troops.

Great shots from you and thanks for the pictures, things we don't often get to see.

Here at RAF Fairford(Royal Air Force,UK) We had quite a few KC 135's deployed here while they re-paved a runway at Mildenhal.
All this time in the UK only makes me miss the hunting and fishing back home worse then i did inbetween seasons, i cant wait till i make it back for the last week of archery bull, and the entire rifle buck season. I'm glad its only a few weeks away. Some of my family and friends don't understand why i dont save my leave for the holidays but to me hunting season is the holidays. Good luck on your upcoming hunts,
