This page has been started to remember those on the ground who kept the KC-135A in the air and on alert. Not limited to Tanker Phase , but open to all
OMS and FMS personnel.So as long as you busted knuckles on the KC welcome aboard
Photos not otherwise credited

collection.The patches are mine as well.
Darned OMS patch is rare!

Back in the day there was SAC,TAC and MAC..Then they let Bill the Cat rename the major commands ACC and AMC. Bill coughed up a furball!  But all kidding aside, whether you were in then, later or are still turning wreches. Much remains the same. Pride in our country,service and comrades remains.
Air Force  a great way of life (on most days):)

If any tanker ground crew have pictures of maintenance being done on our KC-135A's send them to me at dhendrena@netscape.net and I'll put them up..There doesn't seem to be much on the web about Aircraft Maintenance folks and I think we should change that.
