Impressive beast...seen them at Travis doing this. A Load masters dream I would think. I can't quite make out what those jets are at 1:07? Hornets? Any ideas...tail doesn't look right for some reason. They were blistering the runway though!

Thanks Jon

I noticed that guy walking behind the winched up load holding up the hitch. In the next shot, two men are holding it up from opposite sides using a strap. Much safer!

I backed a 5000 gallon tanker into one of those one time and the load crew totally freaked out when they learned the tanker was loaded with petrol.

Turns out there was a slight communications problem between the Air Force and the Army. But was fun showing off my backing up skills I had at least a foot clearance .
