Have you ever wondered how the Air Force gets fuel into planes in midair? I bet you thought the pilots did it all. They certainly play a big role, but the main person in this operation is a guy (or gal) laying on his stomach, looking out of a huge window in the bottom of the tanker plane, "flying" the fuel boom with a joystick.
This video shows a squadron of USAF A-10 Warthogs (the 124th Air Wing's 190th Fighter Squadron) refueling from a KC-135 Stratotanker.
