My best friend from high school, Teresa is a hot shot pilot. (Her words...) She pilots a KC-135 aerial refueler. She and her partner do mid-air refueling. She called way back before the Germfest 2009 (when we all had a virus FOREVER) and asked if the boys would be interested and coming out to Ellington Field and seeing the jet...is it called a jet or a plane? Anyway, I knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for the boys so we jumped!! Here are some pics of our adventure:

Standing on the wings with Teresa and her dad:
Looking at the refueling station with Teresa's partner. He is officially called a boom operator.
She let them actually PUSH BUTTONS!!

I think Quinn was more impressed with being put down to crawl than she was with the whole "we're on a hot shot jet/plane thing". ha!
