Refueling F-22 Raptors Over the Gulf of Mexico

2017 was a great year for what I call my “Bucket-List Assignments” and this assignment was on the top of that list. First of all, I have always wanted to photograph an F-22 Raptor which is one of the coolest planes we have in our military AND I always wanted to get in one of the KC-135 refuelers that fly out of MacDill AFB. This assignment had it both! IT was a long day but well worth it.
