Flying the Boom - A Ride with the 72nd Air Refueling Squadron from Let's Go Flying by Steve Tupper
If you ask SSgt Jason Bireley what he does for a living, he might say that he lies on his belly and passes gas. SSgt Bireley doesn't give me the impression of a guy who'd actually put it that way, but it's true in a sense. He's a refueling boom operator on the KC-135R Stratotankers of the 72nd Air Refueling Squadron/434th Air Refueling Wing based at Grissom Air Reserve Base near Peru, Indiana.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to ride along on a refueling mission over the Carolinas with SSgt Bireley, fellow boom operator MSgt Scott Ward, Pilot LtCol Thom Pemberton, and copilot 2Lt Jacob Creel. I rode along with about a half dozen local media personalities to get a look at what the 434th does on training lights like this. ...

Two men walked away from a plane crash in Shelby County yesterday. Police say a pilot and student were practicing engine failure and touch-and-go landings when the 1970s aircraft engine actually failed to restart.
