Air Force Celebrates Air-to-Air Refueling<\/em><\/p>\n

Our very own Boomer sends us news of the Air Force’s century of in-flight refueling, an amazing capability that changed military aviation.<\/p>\n

Air Force flyovers around US celebrate 100 years of air refueling<\/h3>\n

By Georgina DiNardo<\/strong>
\nTo celebrate 100 years of air refueling, the Air Force is conducting community flyovers across the country Tuesday. The flyovers will feature a variety of aircraft, including KC-135 Stratotankers, KC-10 Extenders and the KC-46 Pegasus.<\/p>\n

More than 150 aircraft will take part, in all 50 states, to pay tribute to the first successful air refueling on June 27, 1923, 20 years after the Wright brothers\u2019 first flight, according to the National Museum of the Air Force. On that day, Army Air Service 1st Lts. Virgil Hine and Frank Seifert, flying a DH-4B \u2014 a two-seat, single-engine World War I biplane observation and bomber aircraft \u2014 passed gasoline through a gravity hose to another DH-4B piloted by Capt. Lowell H. Smith and 1st Lt. John P. Richter, accomplishing the first aerial refueling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Boomer. I have nothing but admiration for my fellow flyers who perform this mission. I’ve seen AAR from the receiver viewpoint in both fixed and fling wing aircraft- much less chance of a JP bath in fixed wing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
