Like a BOSS
The KC-135 Boom Operator Simulator System, also known as BOSS, provides in-flight refueling specialists with qualification training and certifications. The BOSS is a full-motion environment, enabling realistic refuel training and procedure practice. It is an innovative training device that replicates a real KC-135 boom pod, with a screen recreating a practical window to the mission environment.
“The BOSS has allowed me to be proficient in the aircraft, especially when it comes to checklist discipline,” says Staff Sgt. James Kahalelehua, an in-flight refueling specialist with the 203rd Air Refueling Squadron.
