    I have 26 yrs. experience in the Air Force, 20 as an air refueler. The KC-135 fleet was built in the 1950's. I would really love to see George Bush fly on one of these when the bathroom is nothing more than a white honey bucket behind a drape. These aircraft have no ground airconditioning, so when the crews are flying them, taxing out in the desert, the inside temps reach as high as 130 degrees. So you feel like a Polish sausage inside a microwave. How dare these two idiots put our crews in harms way. They really don't care and are just looking for some job. They really know nothing about the appauling conditions of the KC-135 tanker fleet. Love - Mark

    Ray Charles could see the need for a new USAF tanker fleet. It's too bad abuse of power and lack of integrity by those in very high positions have endangered the security of our nation. SHAME!
