空中接力加油 - see Youtube video from 1990-1991 Gulf War

Just finished reading 顾剑's articles on Military Museums. Great writing!

I thought some of you may be interested to see this video taken by a cyberfriend during the 1990-1991 Gulf War when he was in the service.

He has posted 2 videos on youtube, the first one is for the 空中加油 for different types of planes.

The other video showed how they played weightless gigs inside the belly of their plane.

(His words - All wars are Hell.)

BTW, Air and Space Museum does not belong to the Arm Forces. It belongs to Smithsonian Institution which owns 19 museums and 9 research centers - all started from an unexpected bequest of an British scientist, James Smithson. Thanks to him, and the U.S. Government, we now have great museums in DC that are all free.

If you live in NYC, FLL, SAN, SFO, etc once a year these towns have Fleet Week - during which period, there are active military ships visiting the town for the week and some of the ships are open for citizens to visit. The crew then at the same time get to enjoy the city for some R&R. The activities stopped for a couple years after 911, but have since resumed. I went one year on our town's Fleet Week. It was an exciting experience.
