More from Desert Storm.

F-15C pilot from the 33rd TFW, Eglin AFB, FL taking a smoke break while his buddy refuels. Photo by a copilot from my squadron--we all traded photos. Note the single Iraqi kill flag and green star near the windscreen. Those guys loved it when we took out our cameras.




The swan-song for the F-4 Phantom in combat. Two RF-4Cs (photo reconaissance) perform for my camera during a refueling stop. It was like this: I said "Okay, break" on the radio and then I snapped the photo. We'd top-off anyone who would give us a little show while they were up with us.



Navy KA-6 Intruder (K = refueling version) close up by the cockpit for a photo. Note the extra tanks to refuel his Navy buddies. Yes, we'd occasionally refuel a KA-6 while the KA-6 refueled an F-14 or F-18.



My buddy Ken Murray shot this Eagle northbound at sunset. The war was fought primarily at night early on. I think this one made it into a calendar back in the '90s.
