[@dayoung77]

that awesome man! i'm use to seeing it from the other side. i got some videos on here from our side of the connection looking at you guys. we've done that black sea line many times. thanks for the gas dude.....charleston load out

[@bagelboi66]

This was really fun to watch. I didn't think the US Air Force let out things like this. It must be awesome to be part of such an op.

[@highpnosis]

Amazing video!!
amazing planes
thank you

[@23chopperrob]

to think of the sheer size of the two planes involved and all the turbulence being generated. Hell, they would never be allowed to get that close on the ground!!!

[@renegade4ever1952]

WOW, that is some stuff. That's what your going to do?
AWSUME, now I know why you ask about depth perception. I think you will do fine. As for the running, is that Army or Airforce?
I don't know about Basic now, in '71 we did a lot of marching and running at Ft. Lewis, Feb, in the rain.
God Bless

Thanks for sharing!

[@noonedude101]

Music killed it...

[@choorela]

Wow~ Very Dangerous Work!

[@JonnyCrash]

Must have been a long flight. The C-17 pictured is an extended-range bird. They can hold 249,000 pounds of fuel on their own.

[@22640cal]

seriously, thunderstruck and dangerzone everytime

[@haider5555]

beautiful
Technology at its best

[@qwasd0r]

And this, Tommy, is how F-16s and A-10s are made.

[@LittleBowCreep32]

That was really really really cool ;)

[@ginsunh]

This is the job I wanted in the Air Force. Instead, I followed a friend's advice and at the last minute went with Ground Radio Repair. Stupid choice! GRR sucked, and this looks like way more fun.

[@haider5555]

@renegade4ever1952
true....
Man at his best.....

[@konvalbr]

they're called ruddervators.

[@lamoboy]

now thats a life saver

[@anonymous10011]

that and if the C-17 were to aileron role inverted after taking fuel like a figheter :)

[@GJones462-2W1]

Great vid, but what's with the AC/DC imposters?

[@matts396]

@brownshorts1 you must have at some point.

[@Gemadi]

@staffsmole there is this thing called mute

[@Ballerfella2007]

That looks very hard to accomplish.

[@wrigleyx]

wow, very impressive, how many km are they cruise during the proces? aronud 50 or 60 km?

[@bratonabike]

shouldve used the crookers remix of thunderstruck ;)

[@bigturk74]

AC/DC would be the only thing that would make this a better video

[@amapolishplummer]

What was a C-17 doing on the Black Sea and also did you guys fly all the way round the world to refuel a C-17?

[@dereklsept]

c-17...one plane where a good pilot makes A/R moderately challenging, to a bad pilot making it just a downright PITA

[@SashaNaronin]

Black Sea? Whhera and where from is it flying?

[@liftnstow]

Staffsmole, Why so grumpy? Just turn your volume down.

[@Burt521]

So what is this your job? just curious if so luckiiiiii

[@ceconk123]

What were you guys doing in black sea anyways.Is it when the americans passed the bosphorus?You know carriers and stuff and Russia got itchy.

[@MooseDriver204]

the song is thunderstruck but a fucked up version of it

[@deejakway]

@brownshorts1 how would i look into flying C-17s?

[@dragonslayer387]

how long does it take to refuel?

[@mantas1111000]

[@Rickyboy707]
