I had the honor of documenting a C-17/KC-135 air-to-air refueling mission performed by a very knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated flight crew based in March Air Reserve Base located in Riverside County, California (452nd Air Mobility Wing). This video demonstrates the basic functions of the C-17 and what it takes to refuel such a large aircraft in-flight. Aircraft data is as follows:
US Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Nr. 55139 - 452nd AMW
Many thanks to the men and women of the United States Air Force and especially the wonderful people at March Air Reserve Base for making this video possible. I hope to bring inspiration to the aviation community and demonstrate the hard work and efforts of our armed forces.
Ryan Bomar who runs an amazing Aviation RU-vid Channel was covering footage in the KC-135 during this mission. You can see his footage here:
