Nice.

I was a prior KC-10 boom Operator and loved every second of it! The only thing I could possibly ever imagine better than being a Boomer was to be a pilot. Due to a lot of hard work and a bit of luck I got my wish and am now in pilot training, but I still always will look back and miss getting some contacts on the boom.

Cool website for starters! There are a couple other tanker related websites out there, but I am un-aware of any just for Booms.

Looks good!

You should also think about posting this (with permission of course) over on http://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums/. I know there are a bunch of boom's that post over there.



And Ben, you are a whimp. Should have fixed third gear already and come out to the Auto-X even on the SAC ramp. I totally wailed on my neighbors Viper...

I didn't even know it was going on. The Formula (even with a good 3rd gear) would be horrible at auto-X though. It spins the tires going straight until 65 MPH, it would be all over the place at low speeds and lots of turns. I think my Honda Civic would have ran a better time than my GM on that one.

I would love to get it to a 1/4 mile track, but there are none close to us.
