    My father was an Air Force Boom Operator from 1989 to 2007 when they put him behind a desk. He started out on the 135 but cross-trained to the 10 in 1994. In 2004 my family and I got to go on a Space-A flight from New Jersey to Florida on the 10 that my dad flew in. My brothers and I got to see Mid-Air Refueling from the most badass angle ever. And I remember thinking how prideful I was seeing how awesome my dads’ job was. Most kids are proud to have a parent thats a lawyer or a doctor or a teacher, or a first responder. And all of those jobs are awesome, but as a kid, nothing was more badass than what my dad did for the U.S. Air Force.

    Having seen one video of blades on a 53 hitting the hose. I have since noticed that after engaging the basket, the chopper pilot pushes forward a little and climbs a little. It would make sense to keep that basket away from the rotor system. Also with two piots, one would have to stay on the controls with a steady sight picture of the 130, while the other pilot is watching guages and instruments. Any crew-members that can confirm, former ch-47 pilot here.

      Better safe than sorry policy. One example is old plug wires can cause a short through the deteriorated insulation and if there's vapors nearby it could potentially ignite.
