Last airshow I went to was one my Dad helped set up, he got me a ride in The KC-135 and they let me operate the refueling boom after they deployed it. I'm pretty sure the tanks were empty as I did not rain down any fuel on MT
It was pretty cool though
I hope it wasn't too hot out that day, the 135 is one of the most uncomfortable jets to be a passenger on, they didn't build them for comfort, but there are ashtrays all over the place

I found it interesting yesterday, as the boys were getting a signature from one of the Thunderbird pilots, I commented that he has the same name as an acquaintence of mine from MT. He laughed and said that he's from a little further north. I asked, "Alaska?" And he responded, "No - Ontario!"
Damn Canadians are infiltrating our flight demonstration units!

Ask my dad about comfort on the B-52. He sat in the basement, and it was really cold, especially under his seat. They had a standing rule on board, that whoever was the first crewman to dirty the toilet had the clean it out afterward. So, to keep from having to clean the john, everyone would go into a plastic bag and then toss it under his seat. At the end of the flight, they would just throw away the bags of frozen waste, and no one would have to clean the head.
