So I thought I had to share this with you guys. I am a physics teacher that lives in Willow Grove, PA and this past Friday I had the opportunity of a lifetime. The 111th was conducting a PR / Media event for educators in the area. Thank goodness this got to someone I know in my school district because I don't think there's anyone that would of enjoyed this and appreciate it more than me as far as the teachers go!
I got the ride of my life as we went up in two KC-135’s from Pittsburgh and watched them refuel the 111th birds. This is something I will never ever forget.... I can still see the A-10's out the small window bouncing up and down ever so slightly staying in formation with the KC-135. Here are a few shots; I don't have a great camera at all, but I didn't need one for these!!! enjoy!

Brian

PS - sorry some are so large!
