When the guy answer the phone and he tells the CO it's a 2 section scramble and the CO said don't be wet. We just came down and still refueling. Then bombs starts to hit the airfield and everyone runs for the nearest fighter plane.

Why are those 2 guys sitting on the little wings attached to the tail?



You can see it at 47 minutes when a pilot is running toward the plane.



10 seconds later the pilot is trying to get in cockpit and those 2 guys are still there.



Will they jump off or did they plan to take a ride into the sky?

They also appear very content, maybe too content, to sit there while the pilots are running for fighter planes, fighter planes rushing to take off, German bombs are exploding around them.
