Um a galley on a KC-135 is pretty small. That is not a KC-135 galley. That is a KC-10. Actually the flying boom actually helps stabilize the trailing aircraft.
You are mixing aircraft. I was a KC-10 crew chief and then worked on the KC-135. The galley is the KC-10. The drogue shots from the big open window in the back is a KC-10. The sitting boomer (instead of laying down) is a KC-10 shot. A boomer on the KC-10 once told me that he could use the KC-135 boom to move aircraft into the proper position once connected, but not the KC-10 as the automatic disconnect would kick in. Both are incredible aircraft. Sadly, the KC-10 saw it's last flight this year, replace by the KC-46.
And it wasn't being prepared at "extreme altitude". Cabin altitude in a KC-10 is about the same as the DC-10/MD-11. Like making a pizza in Denver for most cruising altitudes.
Once I took a KC-10 flight across the pacific. It was fun when the pilot casually popped back into the passenger seat area and joked around with us while he heated up his leftovers in the oven. Just a hungry guy getting his lunch fixed up.
Same with me, accidentally getting a trip in the presidential aircraft, because the aircraft assigned to us was not actually going to the destination, and this one was, doing the IFR as well, with a perfect view out of each side as well. We did also need all 4000m/13000ft of runway, plus a little bit more, to take off. 1742ft altitude and 41C/106F ambient, and probably closer to 45C/113F on that runway, with no wind.
My buddy was the crew chief and was the youngest , he got me the flight in the Huskie over Newfoundland. He still working for the government and insisted late 70s. He did Air Force and then Navy and did extremely well I think retired. He is a brilliant guy.
It is. Now consider a 777 max takeoff weight is 775,000 lbs and can hold 320,000 lbs of fuel, a 747 can be over 980,000 lbs and can take up to around 420,000 lbs of fuel, and an A380 is over 1.2 million lbs and can hold around 560,000 lbs of fuel. Before the AN-225 was lost in the Ukrainian war, it could takeoff at over 1.4 million lbs and hold 660,000 lbs of fuel.
@Oooonumbers lololol thanks for making it even more amazing!! Love flight and all the science involved.... Still amazed all that weight gets airborne safely, daily... Hey, be blessed and thanks for the numbers.... really appreciate it. 👍
Can you imagine refueling back in the day??? “The bi planes of the 1920s attempted to refuel by passing back and forth gas cans” can you imagine the skill that required??
Here's my question: If would be good to hear more about how they continually balance the weight that is continually changing as they offload fuel to differing planes. This must be quite delicate given the need to be very steady.
I fly a flight simulator that's very accurate. In my F-16 it took my many many flight hours to achieve a successful Ariel refuel... These young men make it look easy. Trust me, it is not. God bless our troops. Their actions keep us safe.
The kitchen is a lot better than the alternative of eating MRE's, or having a prepacked meal from the local mess that came on board with you, getting the meal of the previous day in most cases, and in general no condiments at all.
Retired in 96, but I'll reminisce about the famed Air Force box lunches from the 70s. They were about the size of a shoe box, served cold, but included fried chicken, sandwiches, juice, milk, chips, a dessert/candy bar of some type, and an apple. Each base prided itself with the quality of the box lunch. Some may prefer the warmed up microwave dinners of later times, but the cold box lunch could keep you happy for six hours.
@@samlogan8096 You were lucky. my one neighbour worked at what was called the Food Factory, where I often got hints on what to avoid in the following week, on the grounds that "It was not my best". when you get a breakfast that was cooked a week or more ago, and then frozen, including the toast, the eggs and the mystery meat mix, you knew you might not like it. Lucky I had a friend who worked at Q stores, where we could get the expiring 7 day rat packs, and use those at work, though not using the smokeless heaters, as we did all have microwave ovens, or just leave the can on top of the test bench to warm up. Then spent 6 weeks at another place on TDY, where I found you can make a boiled egg that will both bounce, go through a windscreen, and be totally black inside. Also a municipal bus driver who would drop us off at a point, go through into an area, with the Borg cube in it, and collect us on the way out. He had the correct security clearances for there, in a municipal bus, while we did not.
They didn't have these luxuries such as an oven or microwave when I flew Space A in a KC-135 from Hickam to Fairchild in the early 1980s. The toilet was a just a plastic bag in a metal trash bin with no seat. 😅
Take popcorn onboard a ship or a plane. It has that mystery ingredient that someone can smell it from far away. Just how far? If one were to cook it at one end of an aircraft carrier, they could clearly smell it at the other end of the carrier
when we flew missions we ordered our meals from the mess hall ahead of time we specified what we wanted rarely did we cook anything takes time and resources...
4:34 not a KC135... at least that's not how the 100s of KC135s that I worked on was set up. The small toaster oven was on the right side of the aircraft just aft of the avionics computer rack.
10:38 : Windows 98 ! For sure these footages are not recent... And I remember to have seen the cooking of pizzas several years ago in another video (filming the same crew cruising).
Bahahaha damn i was really hoping they were gonna show the KC-135 kitchen/galley/forms desk and how it cooks a pizza assuming it works, Lucky you can heat water most times 😂
I’d just like to point out that I was Air Force air crew. We didn’t have any of these nice things on our helicopters. No AC, not much heat and the seats were not comfortable haba
I got a flight in the Huskie helicopter, I took pictures of my flight and I have a picture of flight line of the tankers 1964 . It was Earnest Harmon Afb Newfoundland. I was 24 now Im 83?
As some know, Adam Kinsinger, former Illinois Republican Congressman and current Lt. Colonel in the Wisconsin Air National Guard is a kc135 pilot. He flew missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and took fire.
The video said that is the rate at which the receiver over took the tanker. So if the tanker is going 400 kts, the receiver would approach from pre-contact at 401 kts.
Who else came here the extreme cooking of pizza
Add heavy metal music and it's suddenly EXTREME!
Guys is hot as F! Would let him bend me over at any altitude!😅
Don't drop that laser scanner! 10:55
I didn't notice that sticker at first haha
I noticed it 😂😂😂
The note on the component at 10:56 is an instant classic.

Yup! I crewed 135s for 17 years you are correct!
Are the probe couplings magnetic? I’ve always wondered
That was a KC-10 galley not KC-135

Yup, no 135 I’ve ever been on has a galley like this.
Doesn't matter it was pizza
@@anthonygnewbreast1609🤣🤣🤣
Looked more Mexican...
Turbulence is probably the biggest thing to overcome when refueling. This was a very interesting video, thanks
That refueling drone is really cool. Haven't seen that one before.
I still find it amazing that there are so many 707's in service.
Many of those aircraft were on alert for weeks at a time so the total hours per year were low. That extended their life.
Actually a 717. NKAWTG!
What you men and women do is so amazing to me , what you learn and make happen, God bless warriors!

Awesome levels of skill. Train, train, train.
322,500 lbs. And it flies, safely.
Thank you Wright brothers. I'll bet they would have never thought that amount of weight could fly. Amazing stuff.

@@Oooonumbers And that AN225 often needed every foot of the runway, plus a bit more, to take off as well with a full load.
@@SeanBZA cool stuff.
Pizza anywhere is worth a look!
That’s why I clicked on it!
To paraphrase Daria Morgendorffer's graduation speech: There in no time in life that cannot be improved by pizza.
@@nghtwtchmn129 sadly, I can name a few times pizza wouldn’t help. 😞
@@alexsnell8177 Well, yes, but let's not be too literal here.
I caught a hop McCord to Andrews a few years ago. They let me lay in the boom operators couch. I watched America for a couple of hours, great flight.

I swear i watched this like 2 3 years ago.
Why do the keep boomers in the small pod? I keeping poor old people trapped
I came here to learn about high altitude cooking of pizza. Not inflight fueling like I have seen multiple times.
U want to know how an oven works is it?

wheres the pizza

I guess nonmilitary aircraft can stay airborne
It's tough being in the Airforce alright

It would b safe to install the air fuel injection port of all kinds aircraft in the front of the aircraft.
More safe especially night time

But you should have seen what we could do and make down in the galley of a Navy ( or in our case, an RNZAF ) P3B Orion LRMP
Could you not have bought frozen at walmart..?
Get that damn Osprey away from that tanker. It's a man-killer. Worst ever transportation of any lives or object. It's just not worth the risk.
what camera you shooting please??? looks 12k ursa
This is an old clip

One Foot Per Second Isn’t even Flying Fast enough to Stay Aloft. That’s Less than One Mile Per Hour.
The video said that is the rate at which the receiver over took the tanker. So if the tanker is going 400 kts, the receiver would approach from pre-contact at 401 kts.
