day at the
Kansas Speed-

opportunity to meet with race car owners

in the National Guard tent on Indy Car
racing. We then toured the garage areas,
viewing the Indy cars. Lunch was served
to all by the Panther racing team. Pro

Artisan Wines of Overland Park.
The National Guard Indy car Driver Dan
Weldon came to the tent to chat with the
employers and sign autographs. We were

and the Indy cars took to the track for
practice
runs. by

Refueling may be routine to those who are the experts
Kansas ESGR Chair speaks to Employ-
but to the public, it’s an exciting adventure. May 19, ers prior to a refueling flight by the
2010, was an adventure for 30 employers who boarded 190th Air National Guard, Topeka, KS
a KC 135 Refueling Tanker. Manned by the Kansas
Coyotes 190th Air Refueling Wing, the plane refueled a
B 52 Bomber over Iowa. After a briefing by the Kansas
Air National Guard and Kansas Employer Support of the
Guard and Reserve, the participants boarded the plane.
At the end of a cloudy, rainy, 30 minute flight, the
tanker refueled the bomber. Guests were invited to
observe the boom operators in action by laying adjacent
to the cradle. People were rotated in about every 3
minutes. The 3 hour Employers seated in KC 135
flight concluded at Forbes Refueling Tanker prior to flight.
