6 Mar -- Spouse Tanker Flight

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to do a Spouse Tanker Flight.  This is where they bring a air refueler and and load our wives onto it...and then we take off in our A-10s to go get gas from the tanker.  What a deal!

 Dan taking off.


 Anna brought cookies for the crew...so they invited her to sit in the cockpit for the takeoff.  She is one smart cookie!  ;)


 We normally break out the frogs for our Christmas cards, but this was a special day.

 Dan pulling up for his turn to get gas.  They cycled the wives through the refueling area as the husbands cycled across the boom.  If you look closely, you can see a Nittany Lion at the top of the canopy.


 We then rejoined to the wing before departing to land.
