In the space between the two pilots was a 45 gallon drum of oil, and the third crew members job was to pump oil to the engines while in flight.
It was quite an experience to be honest.Old age and treachery will outdo youth and skill anyday

Takes me back to our times spent at Lakenheath Air force base and Mildenhall in the UK, plus all the great air shows with so many different types of terrific planes. When we were stationed here at , myrtle beach air force base, the warthogs were a big attraction, in fact the base is now a huge outdoor shopping mall and a lot of the planes are on display all over the place. I will add that my son in law was a gunner on the B52s , and my son and 2 sons in law were all working on the E3sor AWACs planes out of Oklahoma, so I have a bit of a fascination with planes myself, lol . Great pictures, keep up the good work!
