Here comes the boom

The first group of KC-135 boom operators at the newly organized 185th Air Refueling Wing on the flightline with a KC-135 tail and boom wing behind them. The addition of an enlisted member of the flight crew is a first for the 185th in their 56-year history as they recently converted from flying F-16 fighter aircraft to the KC-135.
