  | At Hawgsmoke we met Jeff, a boomer from McConnell,who invited us for a tour of the Base KC-135's and Heritage park. |
| So next day at 10 o'clock Jeff met us in the car park with a base vehicle and took us to the ramp. He gave us great access, including a view of some touch-and-gos, and a very nice Jayhawk from Vance AFB, Oklahoma. |
| Then it was up to the heritage park, which was nicely laid out. Many thanks to Jeff for such a great day. |
