hehe, I've done that before too.

I used to do that all the time with my KC-135 tanker. Mine particularly was a T model, which used to be a Q model with the old A model engines. A Q or T model KC-135 is one that could carry it's own JP-8 fuel and also JP-7 for the SR-71 missions in the bladder tanks (belly). My plane did one SR mission while I was stationed at Fairchild 1998-99. Before the SR's finally were retired during that time.

I know it is weird to say, but I actually liked the smell of JP-7, it had a sweet smell to it.
