A day in the life of a Boom Operator...RIP 8877

Yeah, this one is going to get interesting before the end of it. They've begun a criminal case due to the crash, as well as trying to get the US to pay for clean up. That's pretty standard procedure, but people now are starting to notice the tankers there, and getting upset by them. Some of the questions brought up were what would have happened if it had been on the ground, or crashed into the only power plant in the area. It'll be interesting to see where this all winds up.

dude It's Gone..Please Upload it again

Sorry photobucket screwed all my links up. I'll repost them all in part 2 of the boom thread tomorrow for you guys.

Hey boomer I stumbled upon a picture while getting lost clicking links and came across this pic of an sr 71 with a drone on it's back. Just thought I'd ask did you ever have to fuel a blackbird ?
Edit : forgot to add pic here it is from Wikipedia
