This is so cool, we used to fly RC helis at the baseball field next to the lake at 1:27. The A10 pilots would always wave at us when they are coming in to land. I know today it would be illegal but this was before Drones were common place and the helis never really want more then 10ft off the ground because they didn't have gyro stableization back then.

Cool video...I was born there when Dad was flying KC-97s. Then we went to Castle and he transitioned to KC-135s...then McCoy. Missin' Florida...
I was at Castle 67/68 136 was my bird.
Flew into MacDill many times to pick up the CINC to take overseas. I don't miss the military, but I miss the guys and the flying.

My family was stationed at MacDill 1979-1981. My dad was a 2Lt.
Nice work bros. Landing was solid. I love the bandanna, tanker bros being tanker bros.
They are like P-3 guys in the Navy….a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get….
That's more like I remember from my flying days. Not so much tech, the copilot still had to do a lot of the work.
What's with the head band and torn over head curtin? Pretty sloppy.
Morale. It's like wearing pencil tab patches.

Gotta love the reserves!!
Well, hopefully, that torn fabric above the co-pilot has been replaced by now.
Never heard of multiple 360s on the downwind, learn something new everyday.
memories!
Leibrand?
a little float at the end, speed to high?
Either that or a bit of high flare, regardless it was minor
Tanker pilot wearing a head bandana. Ha! Ha!

Stop by the 171st. Lounge is remodeled.
who is actually flying the plane? both pilots have their hands on the controls.....thats not a good idea.
Ha! Beavis and Butt-Head doing it good..
The right seat is flying. The left seat is working the radios and the push to talk is on the yoke.
