On Friday we got to fly in a KC-10 Simulator...thanks Paul! It was so cool...here's the women in charge...me and Ashley! We got our share of "defending freedom" as we took off at Travis AFB, flew under the Golden Gate Bridge, and landed in Honolulu...all in a days work!
If you look closely at the screen you can see the Golden Gate Bridge coming up that Chris took us under...good job Chris!
I was the flight engineer...I know what each and every one of those buttons does!
Jason did an aerial refuel...the KC-10 is used to carry fuel and it has the capability to receive gas and to give gas to other aircraft...Jason wanted to see what an aerial refuel was like and it was cool...lots of hard work but very cool!
Uh-oh...Captain Ashley!
Here's Ashley in the Boom Operator simulator...the boom is what connects the two aircraft in an aerial refuel in order to transport the gas...
After a strenuous morning of flying all over the world we decided to grab some burgers and take some naps! After that we headed to the farmer's market and cooked up a great meal...tri-tip steak, grilled corn, and much more!Here's the guys "manning" the grill...tough work!
Here's Amanda with Maddie and Riley!
The Habbestad's joined us in all of our fun while the Walkers were here!

The Habbestad's joined us in all of our fun while the Walkers were here!We had a late dinner and it was a little chilly outside by the time we ate so Jason was kind enough to hand out his extensive North Face wardrobe so all the girls could be warm!
