Crew Chief
Crew Chief KC 135-A Tail # 59-1496 (The Jolly Roger). I was a glorified gas station attendant. Gas it up, check the oil, tires, clean windshields and do inspections for pre-flight and post flight. If something was broke we called the in specialists. Best part though was when the plane went somewhere I went with it. Kinda like a pacage deal. Traveled plenty and was part of the ETTF (European Tanker Task Force) Fairford RAFB & Mildenhall RAFB. Two stints in Riyadh Saudi Arabia for 3 weeks each. Stay overs in Iceland, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Diego Garcia. Also 30 days in Zaragoza Spain. 7 days in the Azores Islands. We also made may 4 day trips to many bases stateside for static displays for air shows and hauling the 8th Air Force Band around to different events and Brass Retirements.
