No competition from me. I thought my U-2 time was good but I have an autopilot and a pee can.

Bradley ANG Base (Connecticut) to Nordholz AB, Germany, in an A-10, with no autopilot, no potty (just a piddle pack), and no room to move around. 12 & 3/4 hours in the air, all at 300 KIAS at FL 210. It actually wasn't so bad, once my butt got numb. What a hoot. So glad I don't do that any more.

I have a 10.0 from base X to Afghanistan, we were about to drop some blibets (Bombs, for you L'il J) and the UAV ran out of gas, can you believe that? No BDA...
L'il J, dude you fly tankers... I know NKAWTG... but your attitude is out of control. We should get together, sing Cumbaya... and get hired by UPS. Oops I forgot they required "transoceanic..." experience, plus 500 hrs in a trasnport type aircraft.
L'il J... reality is that the top of the class at UPT, had a choice. Don't get me wrong, number one guy in my class chose a C-17. But like you said you didn't have enough TACTICAL EXPERIENCE... 1S1E and myself, have a lot of tactical experience, that doesn't make use less qualified to fly an airplane across the pond. By the way, there are not even passenger to deal with, so what's the big deal?
You take things to personal...
Next time I will tell you a story about me flying my airplane, and the tanker from my own cockpit, to save ARMY comrades on the ground...
Slice, did you get my resume?...
Think whatever you want, we had "roll call" I had a few beers, and I tell it how it is. BTW do you know what "roll call" is? Never mind...
Cheers,
