Dad's Air Force Work

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but in case I didn't here we go. During my Dad's time in the Air Force, he worked as an aircraft mechanic, primarily on the KC-135 Stratotanker. In talking with my Mom tonight, I was reminded of the particular aircraft and so I thought I'd share an image of it I found at Air Force Link.

I never knew my Dad when he worked on those, so it amazes me that my Dad was a part of something like that. Those things are so huge and he fixed them up. Cool! Mom told me tonight that Dad said he could take apart an airplane engine and put it back together, but he couldn't do the same to a car engine. I think I remember him telling me that too, back in the day. What a nice stroll down memory lane phone call with Mom was. Thanks, Dad.
