KB-50J Pilot during the mission

To get here from the loadmaster station, I had to crawl through a tunnel with the camera pushed ahead of me. The tunnel ran the length of the plane and through the fuel tank.

There was a small opening for the Navigator and Engineer.

I had to lie down face up on the deck and shoot upwards past the yoke to get this photo.

There were 6 total in the crew for this 8 hour mission.

all I can say is this is real photography. I'm impressed and feel a little closed in right now.
