Anyways, thanks for sharing the pics. It's crazy to think the F-16 is over 30 years old, and those tomcats even older.

I fly in a KC-135R... Done some AR (air refueling) with 130s and AC-130s though.

A lot of the Air Force inventory is pretty old, but the maintenence is pretty incredible compared to what civilian airliners get...

that f-16 picture is really clear. You can see the HUD and the pilot's eyes.

This might be childish to ask. Have you seen the movie Stealth? You know those refulling Zeppelin type of ships. Do we actually have those?

I have seen it. We don't have that... yet. I can foresee something like that being made in the future (maybe not a zeppelin, some sort of large autonomous aircraft) for all the UAVs that are coming online. Even the art of air refueling is becoming more digital, I can already see that becoming completely autonomous too in the future.
