Blast From The Past – I know this KC-10 air to air photo was shot along the coast of California, but can’t recall the exact date. I can say that it’s indicative of some of the many missions I flew over my 24 years in the Air Force. Part of my job during those years was to photograph the many different types of aircraft as they performed their missions.
Sometimes this involved flying backseat in a fighter jet, but most times it was shooting from the back ramp of another jet or even prop plane while tethered by a harness in the event there was severe turbulence and the plane suddenly dropped or shook. Fortunately I always stayed inside the plane untill it reached the ground!!
