This Is A Close Up Of The Flying Boom Of A KC-135 Tanker At Pease AFB. Having Watched A Mid-Air Refueling From The Boom Bay, I Must Say That During The Refueling, The Boom Looks A Hell Of A Lot Longer From The Outside, On The Ground, Than 30,000 Feet Up. I Am Sure That If We Opened A Boom Operator's Head, We'd Find Millions Of Circuits And Transistors Encased By Steel Nerves.
