Somebody in the USAF's TACC (the Tanker-Airlift Control Center) is *really* on the ball to hip-shot a complete tanker air-bridge and out-of-theater refuelings this quickly.

This may well be AMC's (Air Mobility Command) finest hours. They're going to do the impossible.

Whoever the AC (Aircraft Commander) on that C-17 is, I'll buy him (and every one of his crew) a case of beer- each. Well done!

You know, as much as we got going on over here in the US, seeing this from an iPad laying comfortably in my bed… wow. We don't have it so bad.

Thank God for our military and their ability to improvise in real time, as is required when executive leadership fails.

Very true only the north Vietnamese left the United States alone after they left South East Asia. That’s not going to happen this time.

Salute to the C-17 crew!

Also, salute to the poor enlisted guy who had to clean the lavatory after that flight!
