Thanks to the United States Air Force, New Hampshire National Guard, and OBAP, Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals for this unique experience for young people interested in aviation.
The students got to see four F-15s refueled in mid-flight while aboard a KC46!

It's not. 2nite is our first night home. We flew to New Hampshire immediately after he was released. He was invited to fly on a KC46 Military Air-tanker refueler. He was 10 feet from four F-15s. He's a nerd with a passion for aviation. He's been taking flight lessons 3 years.
