    An aerial refueling operation is captured from inside a tanker aircraft, showing a boom operator's perspective as a fighter jet receives fuel mid-flight. The view through the rear observation window reveals a military jet connected to the refueling boom thousands of feet above scattered clouds and terrain below. The interior of the tanker shows instrumentation panels and controls used by the boom operator.

    Senior Airman Crystal Cash, 91st Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, refuels a 125th Fighter Wing U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagle on the way to exercise Vigilant Shield 15, Oct. 20, 2014. The Vigilant Shield field training exercise is a bi-national NORAD Command exercise which provides realistic training and practice for American and Canadian forces in support of respective national strategy for North America’s defense. NORAD ensures U.S. and Canadian air sovereignty through a network of alert fighters, tankers, airborne early warning aircraft, and ground-based air defense assets cued by interagency and defense surveillance radars.
