What the heck is that fuzz that looks like it's coming out of the cowl?
Altus Airmen at Air Force Week
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Bartek Bachleda, 54th Air Refueling Squadron, Altus Air Force Base, Okla., boom operator instructor, refuels an F-22 Raptor from Tyndall AFB, Fla., Aug. 21, 2012. The F-22 was refueled outside of New York in support of the Brooklyn Cyclone flyover during Air Force Week in New York City. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Kenneth W. Norman)
A couple thing about this photo bother me.
1. Why is the boom operator wearing a mask & helmet?
2. Why is he wearing his mask the wrong way? It looks 2 sizes too small and his chin is sticking out....
