You have some very nice pictures there, and you are a very brave man to post the link here to your airsoft pictures.

I'm guessing by login name that you are a KC-10 boom operator, am I right?

I'm a fighter crew chief.

You're correct, I'm a KC-10 boom operator.

As for the airsoft pics, I'm not worried about what people on a website think/say about me. It's a fun hobby... Just not as much fun as shooting my real guns. I don't have pics of all of my firearms on that site either. Trust me, I've spent way more on my real guns than the ones that shoot plastic and they're outnumbered as well.

Ah, working in luxurious comfort!

I recall seeing my breath in the boom pod of a KC-135A!

I have not scanned in many of my old slides, but I have a few images gathered here and there.

I have about 200 hours flying this particular B-25, N43BA, about half and half PIC and SIC.

I was crew chief for this P-51D in the 80's and 90's, this a/c was raced in the Reno Air Races
in 1986. We used the B-25 to haul around toos, kegs, and mechanics

The second photo
is the dataplate I removed from the aircraft before it was sold to overseas owners. This aircraft
was destroyed in a crash after that.

Just giving you a hard time, Boomer. There's nothing wrong with airsoft. Looks like you guys have a good time.

You must work in New Orleans. I used to work on a FedEx feeder in New Orleans. That was back when FedEx only flew a B727 in there. Slowly working my way back. Next stop for me is Houston(job transfer).
