I took this while on a KC-135 I took a ride on flying in Desert Storm.

I was able to get more, but just wanted to put one up here to share.

Awesome!

I can't spy a tail number in that shot, unfortunately. Do you know it?

Sorry if I'm dating myself as a young'un, but I was a senior in High School when ODS kicked off in January '91. I remember EXACTLY where I was -- at a school tournament -- when I first saw the CNN night vision video of Baghdad with all that AAA and SAMs lighting up the night.

Nothing compared to actually being there, Paul -- thanks for your service.

Hell Randy, I was just getting out of Highschool ( I graduated in 89' ) then joined up and found myself on a new planet called Saudi Arabia!

I have more pictures, I will try to see if I can get a tail# off it for you. I know I have another out the rear side window of an "E" along side of us after taking on fuel, as I had asked the boomer to ask if he would do it for a picture. Of course, he would!

Let me do some more digging this week and I will find out for you.

Thank you for your continued service sir!


Paul

No I typically only post here and then on my site, I will check out that site though.

Sometimes I can get too carried away with having too many sites to post too! :)
