The following is a copy/paste from the video description section:
On the 4th of April, I was returning from a tour of duty in Israel. The trip was kick-a**, but something really cool was in store for my return back to my home of OKC. My uncle was the crew chief aboard the USAF KC-135 and he arranged for me to sit in the cockpit during the last 45 minutes of the flight, to include the landing.
As you can imagine, my disk space was nearly empty after shooting so many photos in Israel. So, as we approached the metro, my camera indicated it had only about two and a half minutes of video (or about 100 +/- left). I timed everything perfectly and was able to shoot the landing, just before the camera terminated the recording. I wish I could have taped more. Anyways, the weather was a little gloomy outside and we were landing about 9pm, so it is a little dark.
For those of you who might be concerned, the video contains no sensitive information. I cleared my recording with the aircraft commander and was given permission to post the video on YouTube. So, the captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign. Please return to your designated seat, fasten your belt and enjoy your descent as we land in Oklahoma City.

This is a view many might never see: a shot from the cockpit of a KC-135. I apologize about the poor quality, but YouTube uploads seem to come out worse than the originals. I believe a code exists that one can type at the end of the url to view the video in HD. Enjoy!
