Back when I was stationed at Beale AFB chasing around the SR-71 in the Q model tanker I found the image in the last page of a book on nose art. To this day I regret not buying the book just for that photo. It was awesome!

It was interesting to watch the Navy/Marine pilots hooking up to the metal basket when they were used to a cloth one from their tankers. I remember cringing when the drouge would roll over their canopy, but couldn’t move the boom, which would only make it worse. Also saw more then one fighter jock go home with a bent probe.

I hate it when my Probe gets bent. LOL

I was at Beale from 86-89. Was a pre-mission programmer for the 71’s and U-2’s. Worked on the third floor of the block house. Also worked in the base Museum for a while.

I don’t know if this will work. But if it doesn’t do a google image search on f 105 pussy galore
