What it's like to be on the crew of an aircraft tanker
(CBS News) One of the many things I love about the Internet is the opportunity to see a multitude of people, places and careers I wouldn't otherwise have thought about. For instance, I would never have known what it's like to be part of the crew on an aircraft tanker if I hadn't clicked play on the video above and been blown away. You should probably follow my lead and click play now. (Editor's note: there is a long, fixed shot at the beginning, but you really need to keep watching).
The spectacular footage all takes place aboard a KC-130J aircraft tanker and was posted by YouTube user madcat2986 who writes about his Marine Corps life compilation:
