It's always nice to hear these kinds of stories from crews who have the opportunity to do something good during their deployments. Good job to the crew for being ready and getting Ping where he needed to go. I do, however, get tired of seeing the AF PR machine fall all over themselves patting everyone on the back when, in reality, the stories that Cpl Ping and his buddies could tell would make this little trans-continental flight look like a walk in the park.

Shack.

How about some coast-out and then "Due Regard" action? Or at least after the last tanker hookup.

In any case, they did good. But I expect that any crew who came up in the rotation would have done the same thing. The real story is not the people on the crew, but the overall system.

Would anyone who wears the uniform NOT bust his/her ass to help this Marine? The story should be about the brotherhood of the uniform, not some specific crew.

Great Job to all the crews. Adam "Pirep" "Bing-a-ling" Bingham has always been a class act, and a good friend.

While not a big fan of the 17, I will give kudos to the crew and plane on this one!
Nice job gentlemen. Outstanding

Always
