Keeping Them Airborne
" U.S. 6th FLEET (April 2, 2009) An F/A-18E Super Hornet (right) assigned to the "Tomcatters" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 31 re-fuels an F/A-18 Hornet assigned to the "Valions" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 15 during an air power demonstration over the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) during an air power demonstration. Theodore Roosevelt and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 are operating in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility. (U.S. Navy Photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jonathan Snyder/Released)"
This is the way our U. S. Navy Fighters take care of each other. Power for Peace was the motto of our Navy when I, the Flower Child served on a Carrier in the early 1960s. It is nice to see that our Navy still operates using this mantra.

Have you seen the old Kubrick film "Dr. Strangelove"? I love its opening credit sequence which features a plane refueling a bomber in mid-air set the romantic classical music. I've got it if you want to borrow it!
