Courtesy of Michael, the CNY Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, in conjunction with the 174th Fighter Wing, NY Air National Guard and the 157th Air Refueling Wing, NH Air National Guard has invited me to observe and participate in an F-16 tactical fighter refueling mission on Thursday.  I am pumped about the opportunity to ride and  watch 174th Fighter Wing F-16s refueling at the aft of the tanker and visit the cockpit and chat with the tanker crew – something I have never done.
