A pretty neat article about a little known capability. Reading it I thought there's no way a package could include these guys at low level and "low level" could be relative to the normal tanker mission. Then I thought about B-52 mission profiles, so...I can see the possibility, but would have to think of this as the tanker(s) hit up by the package before it entered into bad guy land.
Interesting all the same. Can't wait to vet our aircrew asking for a green tag because they are a boom operator....
